Newsman: The United Nations Security Council voted to approve a U.S.-drafted resolution on Gaza peace plan Monday, propping up President Donald Trump’s 20-point Gaza peace plan that would authorize an international force to stabilize the Gulf region, run by a “Board of Peace” headed up by Trump.
The resolution provides international legal authority for the multinational security mission.
“An adoption of the resolution today demonstrates the overwhelming support for the President’s vision for a stable Gaza where Palestinians determine their own destiny, free from terrorist rule and violence, and under President Trump’s bold leadership, the United States will continue to deliver results,” U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Mike Waltz said immediately after the resolution was adopted.
“We will seize the opportunity today to end decades of bloodshed and make lasting peace a reality, and we will work tirelessly with our partners, as we have over the last several months, to advance this vision for a more stable and prosperous Middle East,” he said.
No country voted against the resolution, though Russia and China abstained.
