Cardinal Says Situation on the Ground Hasn’t Changed in Gaza
The UN Security Council passed Resolution 2803 with 13 votes in favor, creating a Board of Peace and an International Stabilization Force to demilitarize Gaza, but Hamas rejected key clauses.
- On November 17, the UNSC adopted Resolution 2803, but Hamas rejected it, citing concerns over the international force’s neutrality, including disarming the resistance.
- While Hamas initially agreed to phase one of the 20-point plan including an immediate ceasefire and release of nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, disarmament of Hamas remains a core sticking point.
- Turkey is readying a brigade of 2,000 soldiers to join the ISF, which US Ambassador Mike Waltz described as a coalition including Indonesia and Azerbaijan tasked with overseeing demilitarization and aid delivery, while Israel opposes Turkish participation.
- Potential troop contributors like Azerbaijan and the UAE are setting conditions, with the UAE likely not participating without a clear framework and Azerbaijan only sending troops if military action stops; the US considers skipping demilitarization, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insists Hamas must be disarmed.
- Hamas argues ISF mandates would strip neutrality and complicate implementation, while US soldiers at the Civil Military Coordination Center in Kiryat Gat manage ceasefire violations reported since October 10.
