UN Security Council to vote on US Gaza plan

The United Nations Security Council voted to adopt President Trump’s peace deal on Monday, and establish an international force to govern and secure the Gaza Strip.
But it remains only a vague nod. It states that if the Palestinian Authority “faithfully” carries out reforms and if Gaza redevelopment advances, “conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood.”
The UN Security Council has approved a US-backed proposal that would deploy an international stabilisation force and establish a transitional administration for the war-ravaged Gaza Strip. The temporary structure would govern Gaza until an internationally recognised Palestinian government was ready to take over its control, the resolution said.
