In a stunning display of global unity, the United Nations Security Council has greenlit a bold initiative for peace in Gaza, placing President Donald Trump at the helm of a newly formed Board of Peace.
On Monday, November 17, 2025, the council passed a resolution with a commanding 13-0-2 vote, endorsing Trump's comprehensive 20-point plan to bring stability and development to a region long plagued by conflict.
Let’s rewind to the groundwork: Hamas, in a surprising turn, agreed to the peace framework on October 8, 2025, signaling a potential shift in the region’s dynamics.
Just days later, on October 13, 2025, heavyweights like Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Qatar’s Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan joined Trump in officially backing the plan with a high-profile signing.
The U.N. vote itself saw an impressive coalition, with nations like China, Russia, France, and the United Kingdom standing alongside Algeria, Denmark, Greece, and others in support, showing a rare consensus on a contentious issue.
Even beyond the council, countries such as Egypt, Jordan, Indonesia, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates threw their weight behind the resolution last week, proving this isn’t just a bureaucratic checkbox but a genuine international push.
Trump’s appointment as chairman of the Board of Peace isn’t just ceremonial; it’s a nod to his knack for brokering deals that others might deem impossible in today’s overly cautious, politically correct diplomatic circles.
“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,” Trump declared on Truth Social, never one to shy away from a victory lap.
While some might roll their eyes at the self-congratulation, let’s be real: getting 13 nations to agree on anything, let alone a plan for Gaza, is no small feat in a world obsessed with endless debate over trivial sensitivities.
The resolution isn’t just pomp and circumstance; it lays out a practical roadmap, including the creation of an International Stabilization Force to secure the region and dismantle terrorist networks while protecting Palestinian civilians.
This force will also support demilitarization efforts, decommission weapons, and ensure Gaza isn’t under the iron fist of groups like Hamas, paving the way for a safer, more stable environment.
Meanwhile, the Board of Peace will oversee humanitarian aid, drive development projects, and back a technocratic Palestinian committee to handle daily governance as the Palestinian Authority undergoes much-needed reforms.
Financially, the plan opens doors for global institutions to funnel investments into Gaza’s reconstruction, a move that could finally give the region’s people a shot at prosperity instead of perpetual strife.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio captured the optimism, stating on X, “Today’s UN Security Council resolution endorsing President Trump’s 20-Point Peace Plan is a historic milestone in building a peaceful and prosperous Gaza governed by the Palestinian people—not Hamas.”
Rubio’s right to spotlight self-governance over chaos, though skeptics might wonder if the world’s checkbooks will match the rhetoric—still, it’s a start worth watching in a region desperate for hope over progressive platitudes.
