US Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz held a rare meeting with Palestinian diplomats in New York to discuss a proposed Security Council resolution aimed at establishing an International Stabilization Force for postwar Gaza. This direct engagement marks one of the few such interactions on US soil since President Donald Trump's return to office. The Palestinian delegation advocated for changes to the resolution that would give the Palestinian Authority a more significant role in the envisioned governance of Gaza. Previous versions of the resolution had limited the Palestinian Authority's involvement to a transitional phase, pending internal reforms.
