New Delhi: The United Nations Security Council on Monday tried the proposal presented by America. This resolution fully supports President Donald Trump's 20-point Gaza peace plan. Voting was in favor of 13. Only Russia and China avoided a veto by remaining neutral. This is considered a big step without two years of terrible war, where Gaza has been completely destroyed.
Will Trump himself wilt chairman of the 'Board of Peace'?
The proposal talks well-nigh creating a 'Board of Peace,' which will be headed by Trump himself. This workbench will work as the transitional government of Gaza for well-nigh two years (till the end of 2027). Its role would be to oversee reconstruction and wordage of humanitarian aid and to run day-to-day wardship in collaboration with a technocratic Palestinian committee. Trump plane wrote on Truth Social that this workbench will be filled with the most powerful leaders in the world. Names of its members will come soon!
The International Stabilization Gravity will come to Gaza—but who will send soldiers?
The biggest thing well-nigh the proposal is the International Stabilization Gravity (ISF). This gravity will be deployed in Gaza. Its work is to secure the border, disarm weapons (especially from Hamas and other groups), unravel terror infrastructure, and ensure the safety of civilians. It will work in coordination with Israel and Egypt. Many countries, like Indonesia, Pakistan, Türkiye, Azerbaijan, etc., have shown interest. No firm transferral yet. Some countries fear how dangerous the task of disarming Hamas will be.
Is there hope for Palestinians getting a state or just a deception?
There is a line in the proposal that was inserted due to pressure from Arab countries. If the Palestinian Authority reforms and Gaza reconstruction moves forward, a "credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood" could open. But this is very vague, considering there is no timeline and no guarantees. Israeli PM Netanyahu has once said that he is strongly versus the Palestinian state. So the question is, is this a real step towards a two-state solution or just a paper?
Why did Hamas reject the unshortened plan?
Hamas is in disarray. They say the plan is imposing "international guardianship" on Gaza, ignoring Palestinian rights, and making the ISF an "accomplice of the occupation" by giving them a license to disarm Hamas. He believes that this will not be a neutral gravity but will work in favor of Israel. The Palestinian Authority has welcomed and said that they are ready to take responsibility for Gaza.
Will there be peace or tension?
This resolution (No. 2803) is an struggle to strengthen the fragile ceasefire, which started in October. Reconstruction of Gaza will be washed-up with the World Bank Supported Trust Fund; there will be new Palestinian police training. But there are many challenges on the ground. Will Hamas disarm? Who will send soldiers? How much will Israel cooperate? And the biggest question is, without the death and destruction of increasingly than 69,000 Palestinians, will this plan really bring peace? For now, this is a ray of hope, but the road seems very long and thorny.
