UN security council to vote on Gaza international force plan in resolution that also references Palestinian state
The UN security council will shortly vote on a resolution that would authorise an international stabilisation force to the Gaza Strip, as per the next phase of Donald Trump’s 20-point Gaza plan.
And in an eleventh-hour addition following pressure from Arab states, the US-drafted resolution now also includes a tentative reference to a future Palestinian state.
The resolution’s wording was drafted several times after rounds of negotiations, and is now supported by key Arab and Muslim-majority countries.
But Russia, which has passed around its own resolution, and China, may abstain from the vote.
