Trump leads U.N. peace initiative for Gaza

 November 18, 2025

Hold onto your hats, folks—President Donald Trump just scored a historic win at the United Nations, steering a groundbreaking resolution for peace in Gaza.

On Monday, the U.N. Security Council passed a resolution backing Trump’s 20-point peace plan for Gaza, naming him chairman of the newly formed Board of Peace, with a commanding vote of 13-0-2, Breitbart reported

Let’s rewind a bit to see how this unfolded. Back on October 8, Hamas signed onto the peace plan, a move that raised eyebrows but signaled a potential shift. Then, on October 13, heavyweights like Egypt’s Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Qatar’s Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan officially endorsed the plan alongside Trump.

Trump’s Plan Gains Global Backing

Trump didn’t hold back his gratitude, thanking not just the Security Council nations—think China, Russia, France, and the U.K., among others—but also key endorsers like Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE who supported the resolution early on. It’s refreshing to see a leader give credit where it’s due, especially when the globalist crowd often snubs such gestures for political posturing.

The vote itself was a powerhouse moment, with countries like Algeria, South Korea, and Slovenia joining the chorus of approval. That 13-0-2 tally isn’t just a number; it’s a rare show of unity in a body often paralyzed by vetoes and virtue-signaling. Dare we say, it’s a slap in the face to the endless hand-wringing over “consensus” that usually bogs down progress?

Trump himself called it a monumental achievement, writing, “This will go down as one of the biggest approvals in the History of the United Nations, will lead to further Peace all over the World, and is a moment of true Historic proportion!” (Donald Trump). Now, while some might roll their eyes at the hyperbole, let’s be real—getting this kind of international nod isn’t just a pat on the back; it’s a potential game-changer for a region desperate for stability.

Board of Peace Takes Shape

So, what’s this Board of Peace that Trump now chairs? It’s tasked with overseeing humanitarian aid, spurring Gaza’s development, and backing a technocratic Palestinian committee to handle civil administration while the Palestinian Authority sorts out its reforms. This isn’t just bureaucracy; it’s a lifeline for a battered region.

Then there’s the International Stabilization Force, a key piece of the resolution’s framework. This force will focus on securing Gaza, dismantling terrorist networks, decommissioning weapons, and ensuring civilian safety. It’s a tall order, but security isn’t a luxury—it’s the foundation for any lasting change.

The endgame here is clear: a Gaza free from Hamas’s iron grip, demilitarized, deradicalized, and governed by Palestinians themselves. This isn’t about imposing some top-down fantasy; it’s about empowering locals to rebuild without the shadow of violence. Sounds like common sense, not the usual pie-in-the-sky idealism peddled by progressive think tanks.

Security as the Cornerstone

U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Mike Waltz laid it out plain and simple, stating, “The path to prosperity, colleagues, requires security first. Security is the oxygen that governance, that development needs to live and to thrive.” (Mike Waltz). He’s spot on—without a safe environment, all the aid and investment in the world won’t stick.

Waltz further noted that the International Stabilization Force will be pivotal in freeing Gaza from Hamas’s stranglehold while global financial mechanisms will channel funds for reconstruction. It’s a two-pronged approach: secure the streets, then build the future. If only more international plans ditched the feel-good rhetoric for this kind of pragmatism.

The resolution also opens the door for troop-contributing nations to step up, providing a clear structure for action. Meanwhile, financial institutions now have the tools to direct investments into Gaza’s recovery. This isn’t charity; it’s a calculated move to break the cycle of dependency and despair.

A Vision for Palestinian Governance

Let’s not forget the broader vision here—Gaza governed by its own people, not a terrorist outfit. That’s a goal worth fighting for, even if the road is long and littered with skeptics who’d rather critique than contribute. The Board of Peace, under Trump’s leadership, might just be the catalyst to make it happen.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio echoed this optimism, stating, “Today’s UN Security Council resolution endorsing President Trump’s 20-Point Peace Plan is a historic milestone in building a peaceful and prosperous Gaza governed by the Palestinian people—not Hamas.” (Marco Rubio). While the left might scoff at such bold claims, the fact is, this plan prioritizes real outcomes over endless negotiations.

At the end of the day, this resolution is a rare moment of clarity in a world often muddled by political correctness and indecision. It’s a step toward a Gaza where security and self-governance aren’t just buzzwords but tangible realities. If Trump and his allies can pull this off, it’ll be a middle finger to the naysayers who’ve long written off peace as a pipe dream.
