Security Council Adopts Gaza Resolution 2803 by 13 Votes, Endorsing Trump's Peace Plan and Authorizing an International Stabilization Force
On November 17, 2025, the United Nations Security Council, meeting at its 10046th meeting at U.N. Headquarters in New York, adopted Resolution 2803 by a vote of 13 in favor, none against and two abstentions, with China and Russia abstaining. The resolution endorses the Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict put forward by President Donald J. Trump on September 29, acknowledges that the parties have accepted it, and calls on all parties to implement it in its entirety, including maintenance of the ceasefire, in good faith and without delay.
The resolution welcomes the establishment of the Board of Peace as a transitional administration with international legal personality that will set the framework and coordinate funding for the redevelopment of Gaza, until such time as the Palestinian Authority has satisfactorily completed its reform program and can securely and effectively take back control of Gaza. The Comprehensive Plan, annexed to the resolution, states that the Board of Peace will be headed and chaired by President Trump.
The resolution authorizes member states working with the Board of Peace to establish a temporary International Stabilization Force in Gaza, to deploy in close consultation and cooperation with Egypt and Israel and to use all necessary measures to carry out its mandate, including ensuring the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip, the destruction and prevention of rebuilding of military and offensive infrastructure, the permanent decommissioning of weapons from non-state armed groups, the protection of civilians, and training and support for vetted Palestinian police forces. As the force establishes control and stability, the Israel Defense Forces will withdraw from the Gaza Strip based on standards, milestones and timeframes linked to demilitarization.
The resolution decides that the Board of Peace and the international civil and security presences it authorizes shall remain authorized until December 31, 2027, subject to further action by the Council, and that the Board of Peace shall report to the Security Council in writing every six months. It also underscores the importance of the full resumption of humanitarian aid into Gaza in cooperation with the Board of Peace, through the United Nations, the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Red Crescent, ensuring such aid is used solely for peaceful uses.
