Diplomatic Showdown

Hamas Calls UN Vote "Dangerous" As Terrorists Reject Trump's 20-Point Gaza Plan

The US is pushing for a UN Security Council vote on President Trump’s Gaza plan, but Israel is concerned about language supporting a "credible path to a Palestinian state," while Hamas fiercely opposes the proposal’s call for an International Stabilization Force to disarm the Strip.

As the world watches with bated breath, the United States will table President Donald Trump's adapted 20-point Gaza proposal before the UN Security Council tonight, a bold blueprint for stability that Israel eyes warily but which promises to dismantle Hamas's terrorist stranglehold once and for all. Israeli officials have flagged the draft's language as "problematic," particularly the nod to a "credible pathway to a Palestinian state," but the consensus is that it will sail through without vetoes from Russia or China, whose own half-baked initiative fizzled amid failed backroom haggling. This vote isn't just procedural; it's a litmus test for Trump's diplomatic wizardry, paving the way for his high-stakes meeting tomorrow with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, where the US aims to honor Riyadh's pivotal role in regional realignment. U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee exuded confidence to NBC News: "I’m optimistic we’re going to see the resolution passed. I do believe that we are on the brink of a historic realignment in the Middle East because President Trump has done things that I don’t think anyone else ever could have pulled off in bringing these countries together." Yet, true to form, Hamas terrorists have already spat on the plan, branding it a "dangerous" ploy that fails to shield their "right to self-determination" or halt Israel's righteous operations, exposing their desperate bid to cling to power, leaving Jews and Israelis forever at risk from their rockets, terror, and tunnels.

At its core, the proposal envisions an International Stabilization Force (ISF) to supplant IDF troops in Gaza's hotspots, collaborating with Israel to disarm Hamas, secure borders, and foster a demilitarized zone. Full Israeli withdrawal hinges on the ISF's deployment, except for a U.S.-led perimeter buffer to prevent terrorist resurgence, followed by a reformed Palestinian Authority (PA) assuming governance after overhauls, including constitutional aid from France's Emmanuel Macron to advance two-state viability. Backed by heavyweights like Qatar, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Jordan, Turkey, Indonesia, and Pakistan in a joint U.S. statement, the plan hails a "pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood" and a "viable path toward peace and stability." Israel, scarred by the October 7, 2023, massacre where Hamas butchers slaughtered 1,200 innocents and kidnapped 251, insists on a neutral civilian administration, untouched by terrorist tentacles or PA corruption, to ensure no repeat of the savagery that saw families burned alive and hostages like Eli Sharabi starved for 491 days in underground hells.

Hamas's knee-jerk fury speaks volumes. Spokesperson Hazem Qassem sneered that the draft "does not serve the goal of stability in the Gaza Strip," demanding a resolution safeguarding their "Palestinian nation’s right to self-determination" while barring Israeli operations in Judea, Samaria, and Jerusalem, a blatant push to entrench their reign of terror. The group's mouthpiece, Falastin, via journalist Iyad al-Qarra, warned the U.S. seeks to "reshape the Gaza Strip under the guise of humanitarian assistance," granting international forces "broad authorities" to disarm Gaza without timetables for Israeli pullout, code for indefinite oversight that delays true Palestinian sovereignty in favor of a puppet transition. Qassem dismissed American overtures as "nonbinding statements" to placate allies, insisting any force must be "directly subordinate to the UN and work in coordination with official Palestinian institutions, without the participation of the occupation." Hamas hopes Algeria's veto power will torpedo the "internationalization" they fear, but their opposition reeks of self-preservation: no deal can legitimize their disarmament if it means ceding the control they wielded to glorify October 7 atrocities.

From Israel's vantage, any accord leaving Hamas's tentacles intact is a non-starter, a betrayal of the 700 fallen soldiers who stormed tunnels to rescue captives and crush rocket launchers. Trump's vision, needing nine affirmative votes with Arab muscle making dissent toxic, rejects half-measures: demilitarization first, then governance by a vetted PA, not terrorist proxies. As Russia’s rival draft, pushing explicit Palestinian statehood without strings languishes, the U.S. gambit signals "take it or leave it," forcing the world to back a path that prioritizes Jewish safety over terrorist fantasies. For a nation that buried Hadar Goldin's remains after 11 years in Hamas captivity, this UN showdown is existential: endorse the plan, and Gaza breathes free from barbarism; reject it, and Hamas's "rights" become Israel's peril once more.
