Gaza: Consequences of US political and security infrastructure.
The UN Security Council last week (October 16-November 17) approved Trump’s peace plan for Gaza.
Known as the “American Resolution on Gaza,” the plan provides a multi-layered structure for the transitional administration of Gaza; a structure that emphasizes the formation of a “peace council,” the creation of an “international stabilization force,” external monitoring of reconstruction, and a gradual move toward “the formation of a Palestinian state.”
The approval of this plan by the Security Council, coupled with strong opposition from the Palestinian community, has made it one of the most controversial political documents since the war.
The nature and mechanism of the American plan
The American plan was approved with the stated goal of “stabilizing, assisting, and rebuilding Gaza.” However, its content shows that the United States seeks to create a new political-security architecture in Gaza that will strengthen the role of international actors in an unprecedented way.
The plan has four main pillars: First, the creation of a “Peace Council,” which, according to the resolution, would be tasked with overseeing the reconstruction process, coordinating aid, managing administrative structures, and evaluating reforms in the self-governing entities. The council would theoretically be chaired by the US president until the end of 2027.
