The US proposes to send peacekeepers to the Gaza Strip for a period of at least two years: draft resolution in the UN Security Council

The US has submitted a draft resolution to the UN Security Council providing for the deployment of an international contingent in the Gaza Strip for at least two years.

Axios learned this from an exclusive review of the text of the document.

According to the draft, the US and its partners will be granted extensive rights to administer the Gaza Strip and maintain stability in the region until December 2027, with the option of further extending the mandate.

The document details the key functions of the peacekeeping forces: they will take control of the enclave’s borders with Israel and Egypt, ensure the protection of the civilian population and the unhindered functioning of humanitarian routes.

In addition, the contingent will be involved in training personnel for the renewed Palestinian law enforcement service.

Particular attention is paid to the disarmament process: the forces must dismantle existing military facilities, prevent their re-establishment, and seize the arsenals of armed groups.

Insiders note that the White House expects to hold a vote on the resolution in the near future, possibly in the coming weeks.

This will allow the rotation of international troops to begin as early as January next year, marking a new stage in the settlement of the conflict.
