A revised draft of the UN Security Council resolution outlining the “Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict” is set to be circulated by the US for the review on the UN security council members.
The new text, seen by The Jerusalem Post, introduces several substantive changes from the first draft aimed at defining the framework for Israel’s withdrawal, ensuring demilitarization, and establishing international oversight of the post-war transition.
The most significant addition specifies that any withdrawal of the IDF from the Gaza Strip will be "conditional upon verified demilitarization" and will proceed "in coordination with the United States and regional Arab states."
According to the draft, the IDF pullout will take place “in accordance with jointly agreed benchmarks and timelines,” with a limited Israeli security presence remaining in place until mechanisms are in effect to prevent the reemergence of terrorism or militant infrastructure.
A new clause introduces a mandatory reporting mechanism for the Body of Peace Transition (BoP) — the interim international body overseeing implementation of the Trump 20-point plan. The BoP will be required to submit written progress reports to the Security Council every six months. The move is intended to strengthen transparency and provide the Council with regular assessments of on-the-ground developments.
The revised Clause 7 places stronger emphasis on regional cooperation and demilitarization. It mandates direct coordination between the IDF, the proposed International Stabilization Force (ISF), Arab partner states, and the United States.
The ISF will be tasked with preventing the reconstruction of terrorist infrastructure and ensuring that the Gaza Strip remains free of weapons and armed groups.
Institutionalizing ongoing accountability to the Security Council
The draft also seeks to institutionalize ongoing accountability to the Security Council through the BoP’s regular reports. This framework would allow the Council to remain actively engaged — demanding updates, issuing guidance, and adjusting implementation phases as needed.
Another change from the original resolution is the fact that the Trump-20-point plan has been added as an annex to the UNSC resolution. This means it will include a state regarding a "path towards a Palestinian state" as mentioned in the US president's plan. This is due to pressure from several Arab countries that the Palestinian issue should be a part of the resolution.
The draft resolution is expected to be circulated for a 24-hour comment period. A vote is anticipated to take place by Friday, November 14, or no later than Monday, November 17.
