The United Nations Security Council is expected to vote Monday evening on a US-drafted resolution on Gaza, as disagreements between Washington and Tel Aviv persist.

Here are the key details of the draft, as reported by Al Arabiya:

International Stabilization Force

The United States submitted a text authorizing an “international stabilization force” (ISF) in the Gaza Strip, drawn from a wider plan linked to US President Donald Trump’s 20-point strategy. The draft says the ISF would replace Israeli military forces upon deployment.

It also calls for the creation of a transitional governing body – referred to as a “Board of Peace” – to administer Gaza until late 2027.

Al Arabiya reported that the text additionally grants a transitional “peace committee,” reportedly to be headed by Trump, a mandate to administer Gaza until the end of December 2027.

The draft further calls for strengthening the cease-fire, with the opening paragraph urging all signatory states to adhere to its terms.

A path to a Palestinian state

Another clause includes an amendment stating that, once reforms within the Palestinian Authority are completed and reconstruction in Gaza advances, conditions may be created for a credible process toward Palestinian self-determination and the establishment of a Palestinian state.

It says Washington would establish a dialogue track between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon that supports peaceful and prosperous coexistence. The clause also clarifies that the Peace Council would function as a transitional administration, not a transitional government.

According to Al Arabiya, the word “transitional” was added to describe the supervising authority. Under the revised text, operational entities working in Gaza would operate under the authority and oversight of the Transitional Peace Council, funded through voluntary donor contributions, Peace Council mechanisms and government support.

Israeli withdrawal

One clause addresses Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza. According to Al Arabiya’s report on the draft, the clause was amended to state that the withdrawal would begin once the international force has established control and stability.

“Israeli forces will withdraw according to standards, phases, and timetables linked to the disarmament process, to be agreed upon between the Israeli army, the international force, the guarantors, and the United States, while maintaining a surrounding security presence until the elimination of any renewed terrorist threat is confirmed,” the original draft stated.

Al Arabiya said this is the third round of amendments made to the American draft resolution as of last Thursday.

Israeli response

Israeli political sources described the revised proposal as including clauses “unfavorable to Israel”, such as references to a path to a Palestinian state and language preventing Israel from objecting to countries contributing to the peacekeeping force, according to Israeli media cited by Al Arabiya.

An Israeli security official said, “We will not withdraw from Gaza until we are certain that not a single gun can be pointed at Israel again.”

Security Council vote

To pass, the draft resolution requires at least nine votes in favor and no veto from any of the Security Council’s five permanent members: the United States, Russia, China, France and Britain.

If adopted, the resolution would mark a transition to the second phase of the US-backed agreement reached last October, which resulted in a cease-fire after two years of war.
