The United States has circulated a draft resolution to UN Security Council members proposing the creation of an international force to administer and secure Gaza until at least the end of 2027, Axios reported on Monday.

The draft, marked“sensitive but unclassified,” outlines the formation of a multinational security force led by the U.S. and partner nations to oversee Gaza's borders, protect civilians, and support the rebuilding of local governance. It also envisions a“Gaza Peace Mission,” expected to be chaired by U.S. President Donald Trump, to coordinate reconstruction and humanitarian operations.

According to the document, the force would not only act as a peacekeeping mission but serve as an executive authority tasked with enforcing demilitarization, securing aid corridors, and training a restructured Palestinian police force. Its mandate could be extended beyond 2027 if conditions for stable governance are not met.

The draft resolution also emphasizes the permanent disarmament of all non-state militant groups and the destruction of military infrastructure in Gaza under what it calls“security environment stabilization.” Aid deliveries from the UN, Red Cross, and Red Crescent would resume in full, provided that none of the assistance reaches armed groups.

U.S. officials cited by Axios said the resolution will serve as the basis for Security Council consultations in the coming days, with voting expected within weeks. If approved, the first deployment could begin as early as January 2026.

Reports indicate that Egypt, the UAE, Qatar, Indonesia, and Azerbaijan have been approached to join the mission. Egypt is reportedly under consideration to lead the multinational force after the full withdrawal of Israeli troops and the demilitarization of Hamas.

However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly rejected the idea of any foreign troops securing Gaza. Speaking to army reservists, he said,“Israel alone will determine Gaza's security arrangements,” adding that no international force will be permitted without Israel's consent.

The proposal underscores Washington's effort to establish a transitional security mechanism in Gaza, though analysts note its success hinges on Israeli cooperation and regional consensus - both of which remain uncertain amid ongoing mistrust and political divisions.
