US EditionUS presses for approval of UN resolution on Gaza as Russia offers rival proposal
- On Friday, the United States stepped up calls for U.N. consensus on its Gaza plan as Russia circulated a rival draft removing the transitional authority meant to be headed by President Donald Trump.
- After objections this week, the United States revised its draft to include clearer language on Palestinian self-determination, and Qatar, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Jordan and Turkey urged swift adoption by the 15-member U.N. Security Council.
- The U.S. draft would authorize an international stabilization force in Gaza with a wide mandate, including border oversight, security, and demilitarization, which Arab countries say is necessary to contribute troops.
- Both drafts are expected to be voted on early next week, with the U.S. plan likely to secure nine votes as Russia and China may abstain; Russia circulated its rival text to align the U.S. concept with prior council decisions.
- Russia's draft stresses Palestinian statehood and joining the West Bank and Gaza under the Palestinian Authority, welcoming parts of the ceasefire plan and mediators from the United States, Qatar, Egypt and Turkey.
