Palestinians in Khan Younis said they were at once hopeful and wary of the Trump administration’s blueprint to secure and govern Gaza, after the plan won strong approval at the United Nations on Monday.

“There are positive things for us and also negative points," said Hassan Zannoun, a man displaced from Rafah.

"The positive things are that we can rest from the war, strikes, aggression and the difficult situation that we are living in. The negative points that we are facing as Palestinians are that the international forces, from our point of view, in the countries where international forces were deployed, they had a bad reputation," he said.

"When we talk about the Iraqi experience with international forces, there was violence and there were strikes, more than the invasion itself," he added, referring to the U.S.-led military coalition formed to fight the Islamic State group in Iraq.

Alaa Mohsen, a Khan Younis resident, said he was also skeptical of the plan for Gaza’s future.

"Regarding the decision and the voting last night, it is not the first and won't be the last, back then there were many decisions, which one was applied? We are seeing massacres, genocide, all this destruction,” he said.

It comes as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday applauded the United Nations' approval of the Trump administration’s plan, while Hamas rejected the plan as a foreign instrument of control.

The US resolution that passed the UN Security Council authorizes an international stabilization force to provide security in Gaza, approves a transitional authority to be overseen by US President Donald Trump and envisions a possible future path to an independent Palestinian state.

The vote endorses Trump’s 20-point ceasefire plan and builds on the momentum of the fragile ceasefire he helped broker with allies.

It marks a key next step for American efforts to outline Gaza’s future after the Israel-Hamas war destroyed much of the territory and killed tens of thousands of people.

The proposal calls for a yet-to-be-established Board of Peace as a transitional authority that Trump would head.

It also provides a wide mandate for the international stabilization force, including overseeing the borders, providing security and demilitarizing the territory.

Authorization for the board and force expire at the end of 2027.
