Their abstentions allowed the resolution to pass, giving it the international legitimacy Washington wanted.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"934\" data-end=\"982\"><strong data-start=\"938\" data-end=\"982\">A Major Boost for the US Gaza Initiative<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"984\" data-end=\"1328\">The resolution provides formal <a href=\"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/index.php\/2025\/11\/15\/trump-scraps-tariffs-on-beef-coffee-and-key-imports-over-high-prices\/\">UN backing for parts of Trump\u2019s Gaza framework<\/a>, which helped shape the ceasefire currently in effect. The president hailed the vote on social media, praising the decision and celebrating the creation of the <strong data-start=\"1222\" data-end=\"1243\">\u201cBoard of Peace,\u201d<\/strong> &#8211; a new transitional authority set to guide Gaza\u2019s political and security environment.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1330\" data-end=\"1561\">Trump said he would chair the Board of Peace, noting that it would include \u201c<em>the most powerful and respected leaders throughout the world<\/em>.\u201d He added that further announcements about board members would be shared in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1563\" data-end=\"1765\">According to the draft text, the resolution authorizes the creation of a temporary <strong>International Stabilization Force (ISF)<\/strong>, which will operate in Gaza during the transitional phase.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1767\" data-end=\"1825\"><strong data-start=\"1771\" data-end=\"1825\">International Stabilization Force to Play Key Role<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1827\" data-end=\"2093\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/index.php\/2025\/11\/17\/trump-halts-penny-production-after-232-years-heres-why-it-may-fetch-millions\/\">US Ambassador to the United Nations,<\/a> Michael Waltz explained that the ISF will be formed by a coalition of peacekeeping nations, including several Muslim-majority countries such as Indonesia and Azerbaijan. The force will function under a unified command and will be tasked with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"2097\" data-end=\"2137\">Securing streets and maintaining order<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2140\" data-end=\"2177\">Overseeing demilitarization efforts<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2180\" data-end=\"2204\">Safeguarding civilians<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2207\" data-end=\"2269\">Escorting humanitarian aid through designated safe corridors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"2271\" data-end=\"2543\">US officials, including <a href=\"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/index.php\/2025\/09\/29\/trumps-21-point-gaza-peace-plan-what-israel-and-hamas-must-do\/\">Secretary of State Marco Rubio<\/a>, have repeatedly emphasized the need for an international mandate to ensure the plan\u2019s viability. Ahead of the vote, Waltz argued that opposing the resolution would effectively represent \u201ca vote to return to war.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2545\" data-end=\"2594\"><strong data-start=\"2549\" data-end=\"2594\">Concerns Over Implementation and Timeline<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2596\" data-end=\"2931\">While the resolution provides broad authorization, several diplomatic sources have raised concerns about the lack of detailed sequencing. Critics argue that the framework leaves major questions unanswered\u2014particularly regarding how and when transitional authorities will transfer responsibilities to the <strong data-start=\"2900\" data-end=\"2930\">Palestinian Authority (PA)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2933\" data-end=\"3262\">The draft states that the PA will assume control only after &#8216;satisfactorily completing its reform program&#8217;, though the US has not specified what those reforms entail. The Board of Peace and associated international bodies are authorized to operate until <strong data-start=\"3187\" data-end=\"3206\">the end of 2027<\/strong>, but the steps leading to a full handover remain vague.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"3264\" data-end=\"3323\"><strong data-start=\"3268\" data-end=\"3323\">Key Provisions: Demilitarization and Reconstruction<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"3325\" data-end=\"3602\">The resolution makes a notable\u2014though cautious\u2014reference to <strong data-start=\"3664\" data-end=\"3689\">Palestinian statehood<\/strong>, suggesting that meaningful progress could eventually create conditions for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3325\" data-end=\"3602\">It also calls for a renewed US-facilitated dialogue between <a href=\"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/index.php\/2025\/10\/10\/clashes-erupt-as-pakistan-cracks-down-tlps-anti-israel-march\/\">Israel and the Palestinians<\/a> to establish a long-term political horizon.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"4012\" data-end=\"4318\">Russia &amp; China, both countries argued that the resolution lacks adequate emphasis on Palestinian ownership of the process.\u00a0Meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/index.php\/2025\/10\/10\/clashes-erupt-as-pakistan-cracks-down-tlps-anti-israel-march\/\">Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu<\/a> reiterated his stance, asserting that <strong data-start=\"4411\" data-end=\"4460\">Gaza must be demilitarized and Hamas disarmed<\/strong>, whether the easy way or the hard
