The United States has drafted a United Nations resolution proposing a two-year mandate for a transitional governance body and an International Stabilization Force (ISF) in Gaza, according to a document seen by Reuters. The draft, still under development, has been shared with select countries but not yet formally introduced to the 15-member U.N. Security Council for negotiation.
A State Department spokesperson confirmed that discussions with U.N. members and partners are ongoing regarding President Donald Trump’s Gaza plan but declined to comment on “allegedly leaked documents.” The proposed resolution aims to authorize a “Board of Peace” transitional administration tasked with establishing an ISF that could “use all necessary measures” to fulfill its mandate — a phrase typically interpreted as permitting the use of force.
The ISF would be responsible for protecting civilians, safeguarding humanitarian operations, and coordinating with Israel, Egypt, and a newly trained Palestinian police force. Its key mission would include stabilizing Gaza’s security, disarming non-state armed groups, and overseeing the permanent decommissioning of weapons.
This initiative represents the second phase of Trump’s 20-point Gaza peace plan, following a ceasefire and hostage-release agreement between Israel and Hamas. The plan seeks to end Hamas’s governance and demilitarize the Gaza Strip, although Hamas has not agreed to these terms.
While the U.S. will not deploy its own troops, it has approached countries such as Indonesia, the UAE, Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, and Azerbaijan to contribute to the multinational ISF. However, Israel has voiced strong objections to Turkish participation.
The draft also calls on the World Bank and other global institutions to fund Gaza’s reconstruction through a dedicated trust fund managed by international donors. To pass, the resolution will require at least nine Security Council votes and no vetoes from any of the five permanent members.
