The UN Security Council has passed a US draft resolution supporting US President Donald Trump’s 20-point plan on the Palestinian Gaza issue. Thirteen member countries of the Security Council voted in favor of the resolution. However, the ruling party in Gaza, Hamas, has directly rejected the resolution. This information was reported by the British media outlet BBC in a report on Tuesday (November 18).
The media outlet says that the UN Security Council has voted in favor of the US draft resolution according to Donald Trump’s 20-point plan to resolve the Gaza crisis. The plan calls for the formation of an International Stability Force (ISF) for Gaza.
The United States said several countries had expressed interest in sending members to the force, but the names of the countries were not disclosed. In the Security Council vote, 13 countries, including the United Kingdom, France and Somalia, voted in favor of the resolution. No country opposed it. However, Russia and China abstained.
However, Hamas rejected the resolution. They claim that it does not meet the demands of the Palestinians for their rights. In a statement on Telegram, Hamas said that the plan “imposes international guardianship” on Gaza, which the Palestinian people and their various groups are unwilling to accept.
The statement also said that giving international forces responsibilities inside Gaza — such as disarming resistance groups — would remove the force from its neutral position.
According to the draft, one of the key responsibilities of the ISF would be to “permanently disable the weapons of non-state armed groups,” including Hamas. In addition, ensuring the safety of civilians and securing humanitarian aid routes. And for this, Hamas would have to hand over its weapons under Trump’s peace plan.
It has also been mentioned that the ISF will work in coordination with Israel and Egypt. At the same time, it has been said that a newly trained Palestinian police will be formed in Gaza.
Although the police force has been under the control of Hamas until now. US Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz said that the ISF’s work will be to “secure the area,demilitarize Gaza, dismantle the terrorist infrastructure, remove weapons and ensure the safety of Palestinian civilians.”
