Despite ongoing Israeli strikes that have violated the so-called ceasefire on a daily basis, the U.S. is pushing a new UN resolution to formalise its “Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict.” The draft, which was handed to several UN representatives and obtained by Axios, would effectively place Gaza under an international transitional authority called the Board of Peace (BoP).

The BoP would oversee reconstruction, humanitarian aid, and a temporary Palestinian technocratic administration, all while the Palestinian Authority carries out “reforms acceptable to the BoP.” In practice, that means Gaza’s future would be managed by a donor-led structure with the U.S., Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey in control, while Israel have already signalled they will never accept an agreement like this.

Aid would be tightly monitored, with any group accused of misuse cut off from future assistance, this would likely be abused by Israel without proper oversight.

A World Bank trust fund is proposed to finance rebuilding through donors, leaving questions about oversight and sovereignty wide open.

This proposal would give Washington and its partners sweeping authority while Gaza remains under bombardment, blockade and continued starvation. Without a condition that removes the control of the borders from Israel, there cannot be a promise of change.

The full text of the proposal:

The Security Council,
Welcoming the Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict of 29 September 2025 (“Comprehensive Plan”), and applauding the states that have signed, accepted, or endorsed it, and further welcoming the historic Trump Declaration for Enduring Peace and Prosperity of 13 October 2025 and the constructive role played by the United States of America, the State of Qatar, the Arab Republic of Egypt, and the Republic of Turkey, in having facilitated the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip;
Determining that the situation in the Gaza Strip threatens the regional peace and the security of neighboring states and noting prior relevant Security Council resolutions relating to the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question;
Endorses the Comprehensive Plan, acknowledges the parties have accepted it, and calls on all parties to implement it in its entirety, in good faith and without delay;
Welcomes the establishment of the Board of Peace (BoP) as a transitional governance administration with international legal personality that will set the framework and coordinate funding for the redevelopment of Gaza pursuant to the Comprehensive Plan, until such time as the Palestinian Authority has satisfactorily completed its reform program, the satisfaction of which shall be acceptable to the BoP;
Underscores the importance of the full resumption of humanitarian aid in cooperation with the BoP into the Gaza Strip through cooperating organizations, including the United Nations, the International Committee of the Red Cross, and the Red Crescent, and ensuring such aid is used solely for peaceful uses and not diverted by armed groups, with any organization found to have misused such aid deemed ineligible for continued or future assistance;
Authorizes Member States participating in the BoP and the BoP to:
(A) enter into such arrangements as may be necessary to achieve the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan, including those addressing privileges and immunities of personnel of the force established in paragraph 7 below; and
(B) establish operational entities with, as necessary, international legal personality and transactional authorities for the performance of its functions, including:
(1) the implementation of a transitional governance administration, including the supervising and supporting of a Palestinian technocratic, apolitical committee of competent Palestinians from the Strip—as envisioned by the Final Communique of the Emergency Summit Conference of the Extraordinary Arab Summit—which shall be responsible for day-to-day operations of Gaza’s civil service and administration;
(2) the reconstruction of Gaza and of economic recovery programs;
(3) the coordination and supporting of and delivery of public services and humanitarian assistance in Gaza;
(4) any measures to facilitate the movement of persons in and out of Gaza, in a manner consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; and
(5) any such additional tasks as may be necessary to support and implement the Comprehensive Plan;
Understands that the operational entities referred to in paragraph 4 above will operate under the authority and oversight of the BoP and are to be funded through voluntary contributions from donors and BoP funding vehicles and governments;
Calls upon the World Bank and other financial institutions to facilitate and provide financial resources to support the reconstruction and development of Gaza as it would provide to its members, including through the establishment of a dedicated trust fund for this purpose and governed by donors;

With Israeli shelling still ongoing across Gaza, it’s unclear how a U.S.-designed peace plan can function when the “peace” part has not yet begun. The plan promises reconstruction, but without accountability, it does not remove Israel from the question of aid and control.

Ultimately, while we all hope for lasting peace, this proposal leaves the plausible deniability for Israel to say it doesn’t fit their conditions. Should that not come to fruition, this proposal will still leave a question about Israel’s involvement in aid, in a Gaza that is still dying of hunger.
