The UN Security Council has approved a US-drafted resolution supporting President Trump's Gaza peace plan with 13 votes in favor. The plan includes provisions for an International Stabilization Force, a transitional "Board of Peace" governing body, and establishes a pathway toward Palestinian statehood, despite Israeli objections. The resolution gained support from key Arab and Muslim-majority nations as the Gaza Strip faces reconstruction after two years of devastating conflict.
