TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The UN Security Council on Monday adopted a resolution backing US President Donald Trump's Gaza peace plan.
Thirteen members voted in favor of Washington's proposal, which also provides for an international force to help stabilize the ceasefire. Russia, which had circulated a rival resolution, abstained along with China.
The Group of Seven (G7) leading democracies had recently pushed for a Security Council mandate to implement the plan.
The plan calls for the disarmament of Hamas, the deployment of an international stabilization force and the establishment of a transitional committee of Palestinian technocrats.
This transitional committee would be overseen by an international body known as the Board of Peace, which Trump says he intends to chair.
Several issues remain disputed, including the disarmament of Hamas and the full withdrawal of Israeli forces.
Israel had criticized the resolution's reference to "a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood."
Trump welcomes UN Security Council's adoption of his Gaza peace plan
US President Donald Trump has welcomed the UN Security Council's decision to adopt a resolution backing his peace plan for Gaza.
"Congratulations to the world on the incredible vote of the United Nations Security Council, just moments ago, acknowledging and endorsing the BOARD OF PEACE, which will be chaired by me, and include the most powerful and respected leaders throughout the world," Trump posted on his own social media platform, Truth Social.
He added that the resolution "will lead to further peace all over the world."
Trump also thanked the United Nations and all of the UN Security Council members, including China and Russia, which both abstained for the vote.
The US president also said there would be "many more exciting announcements in the coming weeks."
How do Hamas and the Palestinian Authority React to UNSC's Gaza Plan adoption?
Palestinian resistance group Hamas has rejected the United Nations Security Council passing a Washington-drafted resolution endorsing US President Donald Trump's Gaza plan.
Hamas said the proposal fails to meet Palestinians' rights and demands, adding that the plan seeks to impose an international trusteeship on the Gaza Strip.
"Assigning the international force with tasks and roles inside the Gaza Strip, including disarming the resistance, strips it of its neutrality, and turns it into a party to the conflict in favor of the occupation," Hamas said in a statement.
In contrast, the Palestinian Authority (PA) has welcomed the UN Security Council resolution backing Trump's Gaza peace plan.
The PA governs in the occupied West Bank and is a rival of Hamas, which governs the Gaza Strip.
It said that the plan was necessary to protect Palestinians and to uphold the two-state solution, according to a statement reported by the Palestinian news agency WAFA.
The authority also said it was willing to work with the US, EU, Muslim-majority countries and members of the UN Security Council to implement the resolution.
Israel says Trump's Gaza plan will lead to 'peace and prosperity'
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed its gratitude to US President Donald Trump for his peace plan.
"The State of Israel and PM Netanyahu applaud President Trump and his tireless and devoted team," the office wrote on X.
"We believe that President Trump‘s plan will lead to peace and prosperity because it insists upon full demilitarization, disarmament and the deradicalization of Gaza," it added.
Netanyahu's office also called on Israel's neighbors to return to the Abraham Accords — an attempt launched during Trump's first term to get Arab countries in the region to normalize relations with Israel.
"Israel extends its hand in peace and prosperity to all of our neighbors and calls on them to normalize relations with Israel and join us in expelling Hamas and its supporters from the region."
