The UN Security Council has adopted a US-drafted resolution endorsing a Gaza peace plan and authorizing an “international stabilization force” in the enclave. Russia, along with China, abstained, arguing that the document contains numerous practical caveats and could undermine the concept of the two-state solution.
The 15-member council voted on Monday to approve the US text, which endorses US President Donald Trump’s 20-point plan to end the Gaza War and legitimizes the so-called Board of Peace (BoP), which is designed to operate as a transitional governance body.
The resolution also supports a multinational International Stabilization Force (ISF) to be established under BoP’s command. The ISF is expected to include contingents from Arab countries and beyond to help provide security, train a new Palestinian police force, and oversee the demilitarization and redevelopment in Gaza.
The Hamas movement rejected the UN Security Council resolution adopted in support of the US President's plan for the Gaza Strip, saying it does not serve the interests of the Palestinian people.
"This resolution does not meet the level of our Palestinian people’s political and humanitarian demands and rights, particularly in the Gaza Strip, which for two years endured a brutal genocidal war and unprecedented crimes committed by the terrorist occupation in front of the entire world," Hamas said in a statement on its Telegram channel.

The US resolution adopted by the UN Security Council in support of US President Donald Trump's peace plan for the Gaza Strip should not become a cover for uncontrolled US and Israeli experiments in the occupied Palestinian territories, Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya stressed.
ReplyDeleteRussia, which could have vetoed the resolution, ultimately refrained from doing so, although Vassily Nebenzia, Moscow’s ambassador to the UN, criticized the document as “yet another pig in a poke.”
ReplyDelete“The Council is giving its blessing to the US initiative relying exclusively on Washington’s honor, we leave the Gaza Strip at the mercy of the Board of Peace and the ISF, whose working methods are still unknown to us,” he said.
Nebenzia went on to urge UN members to make sure that the document “does not become a smokescreen for unbridled experiments by the US and Israel in the occupied Palestinian territory nor turn into a death sentence for the two-state solution”.
Still, he explained that Russia had set aside its own draft after taking note that many Arab states supported the American resolution.
Постпред РФ при ООН Василий Небензя выступил после принятия Совбезом резолюции по Газе, подготовленной США. Он подчеркнул, что Москва поддержать документ не могла и потому воздержалась при голосовании.
ReplyDelete«Представленный США проект — очередной кот в мешке. Совет фактически даёт благословение на инициативу под честное слово Вашингтона, отдавая сектор Газа на откуп неясным структурам, о мандате и механизмах контроля которых нам неизвестно», — заявил Небензя.
По его словам, резолюция не должна стать ширмой для «бесконтрольных экспериментов США и Израиля» и не должна превратиться в приговор двухгосударственному решению.
Небензя добавил, что Россия не стала вносить свой проект, хотя в нём содержались поправки, приводящие документ в соответствие с прежними резолюциями ООН. Теперь же реализация плана полностью ложится на его авторов и сторонников.
El representante ruso ante la ONU explica la abstención de Moscú en la resolución del Consejo de Seguridad
ReplyDeleteEl representante permanente ruso ante Naciones Unidas, Vasili Nebenzia, dio a conocer por qué la nación euroasiática se abstuvo en la votación que aprobó la resolución estadounidense en el Consejo de Seguridad del organismo sobre la Franja de Gaza.
"Esto podría consolidar la separación de la Franja de Gaza de Cisjordania. Recuerda las prácticas coloniales y el Mandato Británico de la Sociedad de Naciones para Palestina, cuando no se tuvo en cuenta la opinión de los propios palestinos", ponderó.
Nebenzia expresó dudas sobre la supuesta colaboración de la Fuerza Internacional de Estabilización con la Autoridad Palestina, ya que la falta de detalles en la resolución permitiría a la fuerza internacional actuar sin consultar a Ramala.
"No hay motivo para celebrar: hoy es un día triste para el Consejo de Seguridad. Más allá de los deseos de las partes interesadas, está también el concepto de integridad del [ente]. Con la adopción de esta resolución, se han violado esa integridad y la prerrogativa del Consejo", agregó.
