UN resolution on international stabilisation force for Gaza could be ready within two weeks

UN Security Council Vote on International Stabilisation Force for Gaza Looms, with US Leadership a Key Point of Contention

A United Nations security council resolution aimed at introducing an international stabilisation force into Gaza is likely to be passed within two weeks, but it remains uncertain whether the necessary agreement can be reached over key issues such as US military leadership and the role of Hamas.

At a recent meeting in Istanbul, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan warned that if countries that provide troops to the International Stabilization Force (ISF) disagree with its mission and authority, they will not participate. Fidan's comments underscored the challenge of reconciling the competing priorities of Muslim states seeking to support Palestinian security without appearing to take sides in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The US is expected to play a dominant role in the ISF, which would involve deploying troops to Gaza with a view to stabilizing the situation and paving the way for an Israeli withdrawal. The question of whether Israel's military leadership will be involved in the process remains unresolved, with Israel having rejected Turkey's offer to deploy troops.

In addition to disagreements over US leadership, other contentious issues include the role of Hamas and the scheduling of an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. Western diplomats suggest that the inclusion of a timetable for Israeli withdrawal is a condition of support for the ISF among some Arab states.

The fragile truce in Gaza has been repeatedly disrupted by violence, with 115 people killed and 352 injured on Tuesday, the deadliest day since the ceasefire came into effect last month. The German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul expressed alarm that humanitarian aid is not reaching those who need it most, highlighting the need for a more effective security framework.

As Arab states press for progress, there are concerns about whether Israel will accept the terms of an ISF mandate and whether Hamas will be required to disarm in exchange for guarantees against Israeli attacks. The appointment of Palestinian technocrats to administer Gaza has been hailed as a positive step, but questions remain over how they will interact with the International Stabilization Force.

Ultimately, the success of the ISF depends on its ability to balance competing demands and find a path forward that addresses the concerns of both Israelis and Palestinians. As the United Nations Security Council considers the draft resolution, it remains to be seen whether key issues can be resolved in time to prevent further instability in Gaza.
 
I'm getting so worried about all this back-and-forth between Israel and Hamas... my kid's friend has a cousin who lives in Gaza 🀞. If they can just figure out how to work together, I think it could make such a big difference for the kids living there - no more fighting, no more bombs going off πŸš«πŸ’”. And what about all these troops that are supposed to come and help? My kid's class is learning about the importance of teamwork in school, but it seems like the world leaders are having trouble working together... πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ˜•
 
I'm really worried about the situation in Gaza πŸ€•. I was just talking to my friends from school about this and we're all thinking that an international stabilisation force is a good idea, but it's so complicated with everyone having different opinions. I don't get why the US leadership is such a big deal, can't they just work together or something? πŸ€” My teacher said that in international relations, there are always going to be countries with conflicting interests and you have to find a way to compromise. But it's hard when people's lives are on the line. I just hope that everyone can come to an agreement before things get out of hand again πŸ’”
 
I'm so worried about this whole thing πŸ€•. I mean, the US is supposed to lead the international stabilisation force, but what if they just end up making things worse? We've seen how conflicts escalate when power players like Israel and Hamas are involved... it's a recipe for disaster πŸ”₯. And let's not forget about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza – 115 people killed and over 350 injured? It's heartbreaking πŸ˜”. I hope the UN can get their act together and pass that resolution, but at this rate, I'm not holding my breath 🀞.
 
I'm thinking, what's going on with Gaza? πŸ€” It seems like there's a lot of uncertainty around the UN Security Council vote on this international stabilisation force thingy. I mean, the US is expected to play a big role, but there are some major points of contention - like Israel's military leadership and Hamas' role.

It's also weird that countries don't want to participate if they don't agree with the mission and authority of the ISF. Like, what even is the point of an international force if everyone's just gonna say "no" unless it meets their own criteria? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

And can we talk about how chaotic things are in Gaza right now? 115 people killed and 352 injured on Tuesday - that's just insane. 😱 The fact that humanitarian aid isn't reaching those who need it most is just heartbreaking.

Ultimately, I think the key to this whole thing is finding a balance between competing demands and making sure everyone's concerns get heard. It's not gonna be easy, but if they can figure it out, maybe we'll see some real progress in Gaza. 🀞
 
πŸ€” I just dont think this is gonna happen till everybody gets on the same page about who's in charge of the whole thing and what their goals are... 🌎 It's like trying to get a bunch of cats to agree on where they want to nap - it takes time and effort. The US should be able to figure out their role, and Israel should be willing to back down from the wall... πŸ’ͺ What's most concerning is that this whole thing is gonna affect innocent people in Gaza who just wanna live in peace. πŸ€• We need to think about what's best for everyone involved, not just our own interests. πŸ™
 
πŸ€” I'm getting major feels about this whole US leadership thing for an ISF in Gaza 🚨... it's like they're trying to thread a needle here with all these conditions and whatnot πŸ’β€β™€οΈ. Can we just get everyone on the same page without drawing more fire πŸ”₯? And what's up with Israel rejecting Turkey's troop deployment offer πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ? Is there some deep-seated mistrust going on that we're not seeing? 🚫 This whole thing is like trying to build a giant Lego tower and nobody knows what color brick comes next πŸ“¦. Can't wait to see how it all plays out 😬
 
πŸ€” omg have you guys heard about this new UN security council vote thingy? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ apparently theres a huge debate going on about who should lead the international stabilization force for gaza 🀯 like israel or turkey or maybe even the us?? πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ idk but it sounds super complicated 🀯 and theres so many different opinions about what should happen next πŸ’¬ i mean some ppl think its a good idea to have a timeline for an israeli withdrawal from gaza ⏰ while others are all like "no way, thats not gonna work" πŸ˜’ what do u guys think? πŸ€”
 
I don't know how the US is gonna play into this... they're supposed to lead the whole thing but they're not exactly on good terms with Israel and Hamas πŸ€”. I mean, if Turkey's offering troops to help out, shouldn't the US just be like "cool, we got this"? But no, it seems like there's all these other issues that need to get sorted first... like what's gonna happen to Hamas? Are they gonna disarm or not? It's a bit of a mess, tbh 🀯. I think the UN needs to hurry up and get some resolution going in Gaza before things get any worse 😬.
 
πŸ€” The thing is, if we're gonna have an international stabilisation force in Gaza, then everyone's gotta be on the same page about what that means and how it works. I mean, you've got the US trying to lead the charge, but also countries like Turkey and others who are super worried about being seen as taking sides in the Israeli-Palestinian thing. It's like, can't we just focus on getting some stability and security for the people of Gaza without all the drama? πŸ™„

And what's with the role of Hamas? I get why Western diplomats are stressing that they need to disarm, but isn't that gonna be a major sticking point? Like, how are we supposed to keep everyone happy when there are so many different perspectives and interests at play? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ And don't even get me started on the timeline for an Israeli withdrawal – that's like, a major non-starter if you ask me. Can we just focus on getting some real progress on the ground instead of all the backroom politics? πŸ’Έ
 
😩 this is getting so bloody complicated... US involvement is just gonna make things worse 🀯 they're not exactly known for their subtlety when it comes to foreign policy. What's the point of sending troops if you're not even gonna have a say in how they operate? πŸ’” and don't even get me started on Hamas - can't we just focus on finding a peaceful solution instead of messing around with this militarized nonsense? 🚫 at least Germany is speaking up about the humanitarian crisis, now that's something I can get behind πŸ™
 
πŸ€” I'm low-key skeptical about this whole thing... like, we're already dealing with a super sensitive situation in Gaza and now we wanna just throw another layer on top? What if the US just wants to use this as an excuse to flex its military muscles again? 🚫 And what's up with Hamas being included in all this? I get it, they gotta be part of some sorta solution but can't they just step aside for real? We need a more effective security framework, not another international group trying to babysit the whole situation. The German FM is right, aid should be getting through ASAP and these politicians need to focus on that. πŸ’Έ
 
omg u wont bld beliv wht's goin on in gaza 🀯 they r tryin 2 get a stablisation force in there but its likley 2 b a mess 😩 US is probly gonna be the 1 w/ the most power but theres stil alot of diff opinions abt how it shd b done... Israel dont wanna b part of it nd Hamas is like "hey, dont touch me!" πŸ€ͺ meanwhile 115 ppl died nd 352 r hurt n its likely 2 get worse before it gets better πŸ’” german minster is all worried bout humanitarian aid not reachin ppl who need it most 🌟 gotta hopin that someone can figger out a way 2 make it work or else we'll b stuck w/ more violence 😞
 
I'm getting really concerned about the escalating situation in Gaza πŸ€•. With a UN Security Council vote on an international stabilisation force just around the corner, I hope that all parties involved can come to the table with a clear understanding of what needs to be done to create lasting peace.

The uncertainty surrounding US leadership and Israel's involvement is creating tension, but it's also an opportunity for countries like Turkey and Germany to step up and offer support. The fact that Western diplomats are pushing for a timetable for Israeli withdrawal shows that there's still room for compromise 🀝.

I do think the appointment of Palestinian technocrats to administer Gaza was a positive move, but we need to see how they'll work with the ISF to ensure the security framework is effective.

The real question is whether we can balance competing demands and find a path forward that addresses the concerns of both Israelis and Palestinians πŸ€”. Can we really find a way to make this work without further instability in Gaza?
 
aww man, this whole situation with Gaza is just so heartbreaking πŸ€•... I mean, 115 people killed and 352 injured on just one day? it's like, what are we even doing here? πŸ€” we need a way to make sure that everyone has access to aid and that the ceasefire can actually stick. and honestly, the more I think about it, the more I'm just so frustrated that we're not seeing any real progress on these issues... how can we expect to stabilize the situation when we can't even agree on the basics? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ and what's up with the US being the dominant force in this thing? shouldn't we be working together as a global community to find a solution, not just relying on one country to do everything? 😩
 
the US always gets its way πŸ˜’, like it's 2008 all over again... i mean, who needs international cooperation when you've got a superpower on the UN security council? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ anyway, if they're gonna be all dominant and stuff, might as well get the troops in there to keep everyone in line. the Turkish foreign minister is right though, countries gotta stand up for what they believe in (aka not wanting to take sides) πŸ‘Š but seriously, can we just focus on getting humanitarian aid into Gaza instead of playing politics? 🀯
 
idk about this whole thing πŸ€”... but did u know that since 2019, the number of Palestinian deaths in Gaza has averaged around 120 per month? πŸ’€πŸ“ˆ and its not just ppl who r gettin hurt, theres also a major issue w/ humanitarian aid getting stuck in the middleman - last yr, only 20% of emergency aid reached those whos really need it πŸš«πŸ’Έ

anywayz... i heard that if this ISF gets passd, the US is gonna lead the pack πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ. but what's w/ the timing? πŸ•°οΈ we gotta figure out how to get ppl on board & make sure Israel & Hamas r on the same page before we jump into anything 🀝.

ps - did u know that the 7-year blockade of Gaza has led to a GDP 50% lower than pre-2007 levels? πŸ“‰πŸ‘Ž
 
I'm kinda hyped about this whole ISF thing 🀩! I mean, think about it - an international stabilisation force could really help bring some peace and security to Gaza. And let's not forget, it's a huge step forward for the Palestinians. Okay, so there are some hiccups with US leadership and all that jazz, but I'm sure they'll work it out. 🀞 The fact that Turkey is willing to deploy troops shows that different countries can come together and support a common goal. And, fingers crossed, Israel will be on board too! πŸ’― I just wish those humanitarian aid workers could get in there ASAP - 115 people killed and 352 injured? That's just heartbreaking πŸ˜”.
