The US says its plan for post-war Gaza will offer a pathway to “Palestinian self-determination and statehood”, according to a joint statement signed by multiple countries working towards a long-term ceasefire solution in the region.
The statement, arranged by the US and jointly released on Friday by Qatar, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Jordan and Turkey, expresses support for Washington’s UN Security Council resolution to establish an international stabilisation force in Gaza, which will be subject to a vote on Monday.
“We emphasise that this is a sincere effort, and the Plan provides a viable path towards peace and stability, not only between the Israelis and the Palestinians, but for the entire region,” the joint statement said. “We are looking forward to this resolution’s swift adoption.”
US President Donald Trump’s administration will learn on Monday whether the Security Council will adopt the 20-point American plan, effectively codifying into international law the resolution to provide a mandate for an international stabilisation force and a governing board in Gaza.
