Washington and a coalition of Arab and Islamic nations are calling on the United Nations Security Council to swiftly adopt a US-drafted resolution concerning the situation in Gaza. The appeal comes amid ongoing efforts to solidify a lasting peace following recent hostilities.
In a joint statement released Friday, the United States, alongside Qatar, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Jordan, and Turkey, expressed their collective support for the American resolution. The statement highlighted the resolution’s provisions for the establishment of an international stabilization force and voiced optimism for its prompt approval by the Security Council.
The announcement follows reports of earlier consultations and reservations expressed by some nations regarding specific aspects of the US proposal. While the precise nature of these concerns remains undisclosed, diplomatic efforts have been underway to address them without compromising fundamental Palestinian interests.
According to sources familiar with the matter, the US-drafted resolution welcomes the creation of a “Peace Council,” envisioned as a transitional governing body for Gaza. The resolution also reportedly authorizes member states to form a “temporary international stabilization force” to collaborate with Israel, Egypt, and newly trained Palestinian police forces. This force would be tasked with securing border regions and disarming resistance groups within the Gaza Strip.
The US and its partners maintain that the resolution represents a sincere endeavor to establish a practical path towards peace and stability, not only between Israelis and Palestinians but also for the broader region. The coming days will be crucial in determining the resolution’s fate within the Security Council.
