Trump Praises UN for Gaza Peace Plan

In stark contrast to his customary anti-UN rhetoric, Donald Trump has praised the UN Security Council for its endorsement of a new peace plan for Gaza and the Middle East. His Truth Social post reads:

Congratulations to the World on the incredible Vote of the United Nations Security Council, just moments ago, acknowledging and endorsing the BOARD OF PEACE, which will be chaired by me, and include the most powerful and respected Leaders throughout the World. This will go down as one of the biggest approvals in the History of the United Nations, will lead to further Peace all over the World, and is a moment of true Historic proportion! Thank you to the United Nations, and all of the Countries on the U.N. Security Council, China, Russia, France, The United Kingdom, Algeria, Denmark, Greece, Guyana, South Korea, Pakistan, Panama, Sierra Leone, Slovenia, and Somalia. Also thank you to those Countries that weren’t on this Committee, but strongly backed the effort, including Qatar, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Turkiye [sic], and Jordan. The members of the Board, and many more exciting announcements, will be made in the coming weeks.

The UN, for its part, is “prepared to play ‘any role’ needed to advance the breakthrough Security Council resolution endorsing the United States-led Gaza peace plan,” according to UN Deputy Spokesman Farhan Haq, cited in a UN news release, which continued:

Although the UN has no defined role in either finalizing the Board of Peace chaired by President Trump — which will oversee the transition and reconstruction of Gaza — or the planned stabilization force, Mr. Haq said the UN was “committed to implementing the roles entrusted to it in the resolution.”

It is tasked with scaling up humanitarian assistance for stricken civilians across the Strip following more than two years of war between Hamas and Israeli forces “and supporting all efforts to move the parties toward the next phase of the ceasefire.”

The Council endorsed the US peace plan and a temporary international force for Gaza by 13-0 on Monday [November 17], with Russia and China abstaining.
