The UN Security Council votes in favor of a US resolution bolstering Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan that includes the deployment of an international force and a path to a future Palestinian state.
Trump’s 20-point Gaza peace plan, accepted by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House in September, is included as an annex in the approved proposal.
The resolution’s text says that “conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood” once the Palestinian Authority has carried out a reform program and Gaza’s redevelopment has advanced.
“The United States will establish a dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon for peaceful and prosperous coexistence,” it says.
There were 13 votes in favor of the text, which Washington heralds after the vote as “historic and constructive,” with Russia and China abstaining and no vetoes.
