US EditionThe UN Security Council Just Backed Trump’s Plan, but Hamas Is Making a Mockery of It
The UN resolution endorses a US-led plan including a 20,000-troop International Stabilisation Force to demilitarize Gaza and protect civilians, supporting Palestinian self-determination.
- On November 17, 2025, the UN Security Council adopted a US-drafted resolution endorsing President Donald Trump's Gaza plan, establishing a Board of Peace and an International Stabilisation Force.
- After concluding countries would not commit troops or funds without the UN, Washington sought Security Council endorsement, as President Donald Trump initially dismissed the need for approval for the ISF and BoP.

- Amid severe shortages almost 300,000 displaced families in Gaza lack minimal shelter and essentials, and rumours of new housing in the Israeli-controlled part of Gaza risk entrenching a divided territory for years.
