U.S. draft requests the United Nations to mandate an international force in Gaza for two years.

The United States has drafted a United Nations resolution that approves a two-year mandate for a transitional governing body in Gaza and an international force to stabilize the sector, according to a document seen by Reuters on Tuesday.

Diplomats said that the draft, which is still under development and may change, has been reviewed by some countries this week, but has not yet been officially circulated to the 15-member Security Council for negotiation.

It is still unclear when Washington intends to circulate it to the Security Council or put it to a vote.

Under the two-page text, the transitional governing body, referred to as the "Peace Council," is tasked with establishing a temporary international force to stabilize Gaza that can "use all necessary measures," referring to force, to carry out its mandate.

The international stabilization force will be responsible for protecting civilians and humanitarian relief operations, securing border areas with Israel and Egypt, and a "newly trained and carefully vetted Palestinian police force," with the international stabilization force being responsible for training and supporting it.

The international force will work to achieve security stability in Gaza, "including through the disarmament of non-governmental armed groups and the permanent dismantling of weapons, when necessary."

The UN resolution draft calls on the World Bank and other financial institutions to facilitate and provide financial resources to support the reconstruction and development of Gaza, "including through the establishment of a dedicated trust fund managed by donors for this purpose."

A spokesperson for the U.S. State Department stated that discussions with Security Council members and other partners on how to implement President Donald Trump's plan for Gaza are ongoing, and refrained from commenting on "allegedly leaked documents."

In a related context, CNN revealed that Israel was hesitant about approving a UN mandate for the international force but backed down under U.S. pressure.

The network quoted a senior Israeli official stating that Israel participated in drafting the resolution and is still trying to influence its content.

The official revealed that the current draft does not include any clause requiring reports to the Security Council, and that Israel wants to maintain that.

The official anticipated that some countries would try to enhance the role of the Security Council in monitoring the work of the international force, and said that Israel seeks to prevent any amendment in this regard.

The next phase of the U.S. president's plan, following a ceasefire, prisoner exchange, and the release of detainees, which will be endorsed by the UN resolution, is the establishment of the Peace Council and the international stabilization force.

According to the draft resolution, the international stabilization force will be deployed under a unified command agreed upon by the Peace Council and in close consultation with Egypt and Israel after reaching detailed agreements on the status of the mission and the forces.

While the Trump administration has ruled out sending U.S. troops to the Gaza Strip, it has spoken with Indonesia, the UAE, Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, and Azerbaijan to contribute to the multinational force.

It remains unclear whether Arab countries and other nations are willing to contribute personnel to that international force, while Israel has repeatedly objected to the deployment of Turkish troops.
