The UN Security Council voted on Monday on a U.S. draft resolution supporting President Donald Trump's peace plan for Gaza, which includes the deployment of an international force and a path to a Palestinian state.

Thirteen members of the council voted in favor of the text, which U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Pence described as "historic and constructive."

Russia and China abstained from the vote but did not use their veto power.

However, Hamas, which is excluded from any role in the governance of Gaza under the resolution, stated that the decision "does not meet the political and humanitarian demands and rights of our Palestinian people."

For its part, Russia, which holds veto power, distributed a competing draft resolution to Security Council members, arguing that the U.S. text does not sufficiently support the establishment of a Palestinian state.

The Russian draft resolution calls on the Security Council to express its "steadfast commitment to the two-state solution."

It does not provide for the establishment of a peace council or the deployment of an international force in Gaza at this time, but calls on UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to present "options" in this regard.

Israel praised the peace plan sponsored by Trump regarding Gaza the day after it was adopted by the UN Security Council in a resolution that includes the deployment of an international force.

The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Trump's plan will bring "peace and prosperity as it emphasizes complete disarmament, stripping Gaza of military capabilities, and uprooting extremism there."

The Palestinian Authority welcomed the UN Security Council's vote in favor of Trump's plan and urged its immediate implementation on the ground.

The Palestinian Foreign Ministry published a statement on its "X" account on behalf of the "State of Palestine," stating, "The State of Palestine welcomed the UN Security Council's adoption of the U.S. draft resolution regarding Gaza, which affirms the establishment of a permanent and comprehensive ceasefire in the Gaza Strip."

Emphasizing the necessity of immediately working to implement this resolution on the ground.
