Trump praises UN Security Council’s Board of Peace for Gaza


(MENAFN) President Donald Trump on Monday celebrated the UN Security Council’s decision to adopt a US-drafted resolution establishing a Board of Peace and authorizing an International Stabilization Force (ISF) for Gaza.

"Congratulations to the World on the incredible Vote of the United Nations Security Council, just moments ago, acknowledging and endorsing the board of peace, which will be chaired by me, and include the most powerful and respected Leaders throughout the World," Trump wrote on his social media platform.

His comments followed the measure’s approval with 13 members voting in favor, while two abstained, according to reports.

"This will go down as one of the biggest approvals in the History of the United Nations, will lead to further Peace all over the World, and is a moment of true Historic proportion!" he added.

Trump extended his appreciation to the UN and the full Council, as well as to the nations that firmly supported the effort — among them Qatar, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Türkiye and Jordan.

"The members of the Board, and many more exciting announcements, will be made in the coming weeks," he said.

The vote came shortly after Israel and Hamas agreed to the first phase of Trump’s 20-point proposal for Gaza, which includes a ceasefire to end the two-year conflict and provisions for the release of hostages.

The resolution affirms that the Board of Peace and the ISF "presences authorized by this resolution shall remain authorized until Dec. 31, 2027, subject to further action by the Council, and (that) any further reauthorization of the ISF be in full cooperation and coordination with Egypt and Israel and other Member States continuing to work with the ISF.”
