UN Security Council Adopts Resolution 2803 (2025)

November 19, 2026

In my last post, hours before the UN Security Council began its deliberations on the draft US resolution on November 17, I said that the authority to be given to the Board of Peace (Bopp), the lack of detail about the International Stabilization Force (ISF), and the issue of UN Security Council monitoring might require further negotiations; that whether Russia will persist or accommodate Mr. Trump remained uncertain; and that it was unlikely that Beijing and Moscow would readily give him carte blanche in Gaza.

Obstacles to Peace in Gaza

November 17, 2025

On  November 11, 2025, Reuters, under the heading “Partition of Gaza a looming risk as Trump’s plan falters”, reported that a de facto partition of Gaza between an area controlled by Israel and another ruled by Hamas is increasingly likely, with efforts to advance President Trump’s plan to end the war beyond a ceasefire faltering.

Gaza International Stabilization Force

November  4, 2025

President Trump announced his 20-point Gaza Peace Plan on September 29, 2025, in a press conference with Prime Minister Netanyahu at the White House.[i] The ceasefire went into effect on October 10. As expected, there have been many ceasefire violations since then. On October 28, Israeli strikes in Gaza killed at least 104 people, including dozens of children, according to local health authorities. The strikes came after Israel accused Hamas of killing a soldier. Thus, the deployment of an international force to Gaza, as envisaged in the Plan, appears to have moved up on the agenda. However, this will only follow the formation of the Board of Peace that will govern Gaza “until the Palestinian Authority completes its reform program”.
