🇺🇸 The U.S. is rallying the UN Security Council to support a draft resolution endorsing former President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan, warning of "grave consequences" for Palestinians if global unity falters. With a fragile ceasefire in place since October 2025, tensions remain high as Hamas and Israel trade accusations of violations. 🔥
Fragile Ceasefire Holds, But Tensions Linger
While Hamas has returned 24 hostages’ remains to Israel this month—with three still held—the Israeli Prime Minister’s office confirmed another handover via the Red Cross this week. Analysts warn the ceasefire’s second phase, addressing Hamas disarmament and Israeli troop withdrawals, could reignite conflict. 🕊️
A New Draft with Statehood Prospects
The U.S.-backed resolution proposes a "Board of Peace" to govern Gaza until 2027 and an international force to demilitarize the region. Unlike earlier drafts, it hints at future Palestinian statehood post-reforms, calling it a "credible pathway to self-determination." U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed optimism, saying, "We’re making good progress." 📜
However, diplomats cite unresolved issues, including the Security Council’s oversight role and the Palestinian Authority’s future. As debates heat up, one question looms: Can this plan turn a temporary truce into lasting peace? 🌍✌️
