The UN Security Council Gaza Plan debate is entering a decisive stage as the Council prepares to vote on November 17. The United States wants quick approval for President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan, and Washington is pushing hard to build consensus within the 15-member body. Several Arab and Muslim-majority nations, including Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, also support a swift vote. Their backing adds strong regional weight to the discussion. The UN Security Council Gaza Plan vote now stands at the centre of intense diplomatic activity.
The resolution aims to endorse the ceasefire that ended the two-year war between Israel and Hamas. U.S. officials say the plan offers a clear framework for long-term stability and reconstruction in Gaza. They argue that the region needs a structured roadmap after years of conflict and humanitarian suffering.
Negotiations accelerated last week when Washington circulated a draft text. Diplomats say the discussions moved quickly as nations recognised the urgency of maintaining the current calm. Many countries want the Council to guide the next steps, especially on aid access, displaced families, and monitoring mechanisms.
Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Turkey have urged the Council to act without delay. They believe the vote could strengthen regional cooperation and reinforce the ceasefire.
The world now watches to see whether the Council can unite behind the proposal and open a new phase in Gaza’s recovery.
