Strategic Insights

— 1 min read

A senior Israeli official has disclosed that the United States, in coordination with Israel, is preparing a draft resolution for the UN Security Council that aims to establish an international force to maintain security in the Gaza Strip after the war ends. The resolution, which will serve as the basis for international support, will not impose restrictive conditions or clauses on Israel, ensuring direct Security Council intervention in managing security events in Gaza. The official stated that Israel wants the resolution to focus on welcoming the emerging political agreement and calling on countries to contribute troops to the peacekeeping force, without defining it under Article 7 of the UN Charter, which grants broad powers to the Security Council.

Key Takeaways:

  • The United States and Israel are coordinating to prepare a draft resolution for the UN Security Council to establish an international force in the Gaza Strip.
