The UN Security Council has approved a resolution proposed by the United States regarding the future of the Gaza Strip. It provides for the creation of a "Peace Council" and the deployment of stabilization forces that will maintain a peaceful environment in the enclave. The transitional body will be headed by US President Donald Trump. How the world's media react to the situation around Gaza is in the Izvestia digest.

CNN: The UN Security Council supports the US plan on the Gaza Strip

The UN Security Council has adopted a resolution prepared by the United States aimed at moving beyond the fragile truce in Gaza, establishing peace and rebuilding the destroyed enclave. The 15-member Council voted in favor of the resolution by 13 votes to zero, with Russia and China abstaining, which did not use their veto power to block the measure.

The resolution was intended to give international legitimacy to US President Donald Trump's 20-point Gaza plan, parts of which formed the basis for the ceasefire that came into force in the Gaza Strip last month. The United States actively lobbied for the adoption of this plan, which was praised by Trump in a lengthy post on social media.

The resolution approved elements of the plan, including the establishment of a "Peace Council" as a transitional authority and the establishment of an interim International Stabilization Force (ISS) in Gaza. Trump said that "board members will be announced in the coming weeks and many more interesting announcements will be made." Some diplomatic sources said that the resolution would help give countries the right to participate in the JPO, as they would now enjoy the support of the United Nations.

The radical group Hamas rejected the adoption by the UN Security Council of a resolution prepared by the United States approving Trump's plan for Gaza. She stated that the plan does not meet the rights and demands of the Palestinians and is aimed at establishing international custody of the enclave, which is opposed by the Palestinians and the resistance factions.

"Assigning international forces tasks and specific roles inside the Gaza Strip, including disarming the resistance, deprives them of neutrality and turns them into a party to the conflict supporting the occupation," the group added.

At the same time, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Palestinian Authority, Varsen Aghabekian, said that the adoption of the UN Security Council resolution is a necessary first step on the long road to peace. She noted that there are still a number of issues that need to be resolved, including Palestinian self-determination and possible Palestinian independence, and that the process of implementing Trump's plan should be governed by international law.

The Guardian: One of the strangest resolutions seeks to consolidate a shaky cease-fire

The Security Council resolution is one of the strangest in the history of the United Nations. It provides Trump with supreme control over Gaza, possibly with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair as a direct subordinate in the "Peace Council," which will oversee a multinational peacekeeping force, a committee of Palestinian technocrats and local police for two years. No one knows who else will join the "Peace Council" — all we know is that, as Trump stated on social media, "it will include the most influential and respected leaders from around the world."

The "Peace Council" will be subordinate to the Security Council, but will not be subordinate to the UN and will not be subject to previous UN resolutions. He will oversee the activities of the ISS, whose composition is also not determined, but which the United States wants to deploy by January. The list of countries approached by the United States, including Egypt, Indonesia, Turkey and the UAE, has not yet been determined. The resolution states that the ISS will "ensure the process of demilitarization" of Gaza, which involves the withdrawal of weapons from Hamas, which immediately after the UN vote declared that it would not disarm.

Potential countries are not eager to engage in direct confrontation with battle-hardened fighters. In the meantime, the ISS should take over security in the territory currently occupied by Israeli troops, but this could also be a reason for clashes, especially if the Israelis do not want to leave. There is no greater clarity about the Palestinian technocrat committee, which will be tasked with the day-to-day management of the Gaza Strip under the leadership of Trump and his colleagues. It will be difficult to find such officials willing to work for Trump and able to somehow influence the 2.2 million Palestinians remaining in Gaza.

Some members of the Security Council objected that the U.S. resolution did not mention Palestinian statehood. Its draft now states that after the Palestinian Authority "faithfully fulfills its obligations and the process of rebuilding the Gaza Strip progresses, conditions may arise for a real path to Palestinian self-determination and the creation of a Palestinian state."

Nevertheless, the resolution's open door to a Palestinian state has angered the Israeli far-right, whose leading representatives support [Binyamin's] government. Netanyahu. Under their pressure, Netanyahu said on Sunday that "our rejection of a Palestinian state in any territory has not changed."

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee praised Trump for "gathering Arab leaders and convincing them all to sign a historic agreement." At the same time, regarding Palestinian statehood, he made a reservation that the resolution does not call for the creation of a state, but it says that it lays the foundation "subject to reforms that are long overdue."

Politico: Germany lifts restrictions on arms exports to Israel

Germany will lift restrictions on arms exports to Israel at the end of November, reversing a politically risky decision made at the height of the Gaza war. Government spokesman Stefan Cornelius said that the export restrictions imposed in August by Chancellor Friedrich Merz in response to Israeli accusations of war crimes would no longer apply. He referred to the cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas, reached in October and "stabilized in recent weeks."

He also noted the ongoing diplomatic efforts "to achieve lasting peace" and the increase in German humanitarian aid to the civilian population of Gaza. Berlin will now, according to Cornelius, "generally return to an individual assessment" of applications, while continuing to support relief and recovery efforts.

The German Economy Ministry said that between August 8 and September 12, Berlin did not issue any export permits of any kind, going beyond the freeze that Merz implied. The lifting of restrictions will allow Israel to import components again, such as Renk-made engines for Merkava tanks, subject to individual approval.
