UN Security Council backs Trump’s Gaza cease-fire

OMG, Voldemort is going to fly over to Stockholm to pick up his Nobel Prize and then shoot over to Gaza to break ground on his ocean front resort.

Super tacky to put the sign next to the flag!

UN Security Council backs Trump’s Gaza cease-fire

The United Nations Security Council voted to adopt President Trump’s peace deal on Monday, and establish an international force to govern and secure the Gaza Strip.

The Security Council resolution officially backs Trump’s so-called Board of Peace to form a transitional government for the Gaza Strip, as well as establish an International Stabilization Force (ISF) to handle security and oversee the disarmament of Hamas.

US Ambassador to United Nations Michael Waltz and other ambassadors vote on favor for a resolution during a meeting of the United Nations Security Council to consider a US proposal for a UN mandate to establish an international stabilization force in Gaza, at UN headquarters in New York City, November 17, 2025.

How exactly that will be achieved remains to be seen as Hamas refuses to give up its weapons and Israel remains opposed to any agreement that would set a pathway toward a Palestinian state — the same disagreements that have caused all previous cease-fire deals to collapse.

Hamas has seen its popularity soar inside the Gaza Strip amid the cease-fire with Israel, with Palestinians supporting its crackdown on rampant crime — even if it results in brutal, daylight executions.

The lack of a clear path forward suggests that the current situation in Gaza could remain frozen in place for the foreseeable future, said Colin Clarke, a counter-terrorism expert at the New York-based Soufan Group.

“I think things in Gaza are still as fragile as ever,” Clarke told The Post, adding that the first phase of freeing all the hostages may be as far as the deal ever gets.
