U.S. drafts UN resolution to establish Gaza transitional governance and international force

THE United States has drafted a United Nations resolution that would approve a two-year mandate for a transitional governance body and an international stabilization force in Gaza, according to a text seen by Reuters on Tuesday.

Reuters reported n Wednesday that the draft, which is still under development and may be amended, has been shared with some countries this week but has not yet been formally circulated to the 15-member Security Council for negotiations, diplomats said. It is unclear when Washington intends to submit it.

A State Department spokesperson said discussions with U.N. Security Council members and other partners on how to implement President Donald Trump's Gaza plan were ongoing, declining to comment on "allegedly leaked documents."

The two-page draft authorises a so-called Board of Peace transitional governance administration to establish a temporary International Stabilization Force (ISF) in Gaza, empowered to "use all necessary measures" to carry out its mandate.

The ISF would be tasked with protecting civilians and humanitarian aid operations, securing border areas with Israel and Egypt, and supporting a "newly trained and vetted Palestinian police force, which the ISF will be responsible for training and supporting."

Hamas has not yet indicated any willingness to disarm or demilitarize, raising questions about how the plan would be implemented on the ground. - November 5, 2025
