The United Nations’ Safety Council has handed a US decision which endorses Donald Trump’s peace plan for Gaza.
Russia, which had circulated a rival decision, abstained together with China on the 13-0 vote.
The decision endorses the US president’s 20-point ceasefire plan, which requires a yet-to-be-established Board of Peace as a transitional authority that Mr Trump would head.
US ambassador Mike Waltz stated the decision was “historic and constructive”, however it was “just the beginning”.
“Today’s resolution represents another significant step towards a stable Gaza that will be able to prosper and an environment that will allow Israel to live in security,” he added, earlier than stressing that the decision “is just the beginning.”
The proposal offers no timeline or assure for an impartial Palestinian state, solely saying it’s doable after advances within the reconstruction of Gaza and reforms of the Palestinian Authority – now governing components of the West Financial institution.
In response to the decision passing, a Hamas spokesperson stated that it “falls far short of the political and humanitarian demands and rights of our Palestinian people”.
“The effects and repercussions of this war continue to this day, despite the declared end of the war according to President Trump’s plan,” they added.
“The resolution imposes an international trusteeship mechanism on the Gaza Strip, which our people, their forces, and factions reject.”
