US-Led Trusteeship Indicated by New UN Resolution on Gaza

The recent US-backed Gaza resolution passed by the UN Security Council, despite opposition from Israel and Hamas, aims to establish an international stabilisation force and transitional governance in Gaza. Israel’s reluctance to veto stems from a desire to maintain US relations, while Hamas faces a loss of governance without a viable political alternative. The abstentions of Russia and China indicate a strategic stance to avoid political fallout without supporting a US-led plan. Critics argue the resolution lacks a clear path to Palestinian self-determination and risks creating a permanent international presence that undermines local agency.
