US suggests UN Security Council authorize Gaza stabilization force for 2 years

Israel Palestinians Gaza - (Copyright 2025 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.)

The United States has produced a draft text for the U.N. Security Council that would provide a mandate for an international stabilization force in Gaza for at least two years, marking the next step in President Donald Trump’s plan to halt two years of war between Israel and Hamas.

The draft, confirmed to The Associated Press by two U.S. officials, is an early template for what would likely be extensive negotiations between members of the 15-member council and other international partners. The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the situation, said the draft is being discussed and changed based on those discussions.
