The United States is preparing to bring a new resolution to the UN Security Council that would establish an international stabilization force in the Gaza Strip. But in the latest draft, Washington also emphasizes the possibility of what it calls “a credible path to self-determination and a Palestinian state.”
The draft is based on the 20-point plan presented by President Trump and on his “Declaration for Peace and Sustainable Prosperity,” signed by the president and regional leaders at the Sharm el-Sheikh summit. It states that the United States will “create a dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon for prosperous coexistence.”
According to the draft, a “Board of Peace” would serve as Gaza’s transitional governing body until the Palestinian Authority completes its reform program and is able to assume control “safely and effectively.” The draft adds that once the PA fulfills the reform plan and Gaza’s development advances, “conditions may finally be in place for a credible path to self-determination and a Palestinian state.” (Ed note: Are you reading this?
