The UN Security Council has adopted a draft resolution endorsing US President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan and authorising the establishment of an international stabilisation force in the enclave, with the American leader describing it as a “moment of true historic proportion”.

The US-drafted resolution was adopted in the 15-nation Council on Monday evening with 13 votes in favour, none against, and abstentions by China and Russia. It endorsed Trump’s ‘Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict’ announced on September 29, which envisions Gaza as a “deradicalised terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbours” and is redeveloped for the benefit of its population.
