The United States has introduced a draft United Nations Security Council resolution proposing an international stabilization force for Gaza as part of a broader peace plan. The plan, discussed with key regional partners, would authorize a two-year mission to secure Gaza, protect civilians, and begin demilitarization once major combat ends. Urban warfare expert John Spencer emphasized the need for a clear mandate, sufficient troop numbers, and strong authority, drawing lessons from past peacekeeping successes in Kosovo, Bosnia, and East Timor, while warning against repeating failures seen in Lebanon. The mission aims to coordinate with local and regional actors, build legitimate governance, and avoid being perceived as an occupying force, with early efforts already underway to establish humanitarian zones and plan for reconstruction.
