In early November 2025 the United States circulated a draft U.N. resolution proposing an international stabilization force for Gaza and a transitional governance framework to follow the ceasefire. The plan-framed as a two-year “stabilization” mission, with responsibilities from border security to training a Palestinian Arab police force-may sound like a sensible compromise to diplomats in conference rooms. In practice, it would tie Israel’s hands at the very moment it needs sovereign control over its security decisions. Israel’s opposition is not mere reflex. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and senior ministers have made clear that Jerusalem will determine which foreign contingents are acceptable and which are categorically not. That is not obstructionism – it’s the only rational posture for a country that has been fighting an existential ideological war with Hamas for decades. READ MORE

ISRAEL HAYOM Gaza proves you can’t solve everything with business deals The president struggles with the possibility that not every conflict can be resolved through transactional diplomacy and financial incentives…Yet concerning Phase 2 of the Gaza ceasefire agreement, the notion of “the complex and interesting deal” has emerged, at least for now, as either a fiasco or an illusion. It displays excessive naivety or pretense, occasionally drifting into fantasy territory. We harbor no ingratitude toward the man without whom the hostages would almost certainly continue languishing in Hamas tunnels today. However, we cannot escape the obligation to confront reality honestly, and most importantly, to comprehend how it emerged.

ALGEMEINER Trump-MBS Dealmaking Shaped Gaza Vote at UN, Empowering Hamas, Israeli Analysts Warn This week’s UN Security Council resolution endorsing US President Donald Trump’s 20-point Gaza peace plan was timed to appease Western and Arab governments and deliberately crafted to blur the question of Palestinian statehood in pursuit of broader regional interests, according to Israeli analysts, who warned the move risked empowering Hamas and endangering Israel’s security. Einat Wilf, a former member of Israel’s parliament, known as the Knesset, said the UN resolution intended to remove the Palestinian question from the headlines but could lay the groundwork for “another Oct. 7,” referring to Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, massacre across southern Israel, by repeating the same policy of ambiguity that allowed the Palestinian terrorist organization to regroup under previous ceasefire agreements.
