U.S. Wants Security Council to Adopt Trump Plan for Gaza

The United States is urging the United Nations Security Council to endorse a proposal put forward by former President Donald Trump for the war‑torn Gaza Strip. In a candid briefing, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Michael Waltz warned his fellow diplomats that the only alternative to adopting the plan would be to watch the fragile cease‑fire between Israel and Hamas collapse, potentially reigniting full‑scale hostilities.Waltz’s message was stark: without a coordinated international response, the region could slip back into war. He told the assembled diplomats that the “alternative” to a unified Security Council endorsement was a return to the violence that both sides have been trying to avoid.The Trump‑era proposal, though not fully disclosed in public, is presented by its supporters as a comprehensive framework aimed at ending the cycle of conflict, rebuilding Gaza’s infrastructure, and establishing a durable political settlement. Proponents argue that it offers a realistic path toward lasting peace and stability in a region long plagued by recurring flare‑ups.Critics, however, remain skeptical. Some question the feasibility of the plan’s economic components, while others doubt its ability to address the core political grievances of both Israelis and Palestinians. The lack of detailed public information has also fueled debate over whether the proposal can gain the broad consensus needed within the Security Council.Despite these reservations, the United States is pressing forward. Ambassador Waltz’s forceful remarks underscore Washington’s determination to secure international backing for the initiative, hoping that a decisive Security Council vote will prevent the cease‑fire from unraveling. As tensions continue to simmer and the humanitarian situation in Gaza remains precarious, the world watches closely to see whether the council will rally behind the Trump plan or risk a return to open conflict.
