Egypt urges implementation of UNSC resolution on Trump’s Gaza plan

CAIRO – 20 November 2025: Egypt on Thursday called for the effective implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 2803, which endorses a US-backed Gaza peace plan.

In a statement by the foreign ministry, Egypt affirmed its commitment to working with regional and international partners to ensure the implementation of US President Donald Trump’s plan.

Cairo underscored the plan’s role in consolidating the ceasefire, supporting reconstruction, and creating a credible political horizon for the just and comprehensive settlement of the Palestinian cause.

The resolution was adopted by the UN Security Council on Monday with 13 votes in favor, while permanent members China and Russia abstained.

The resolution authorizes a temporary international force in the enclave and endorses the creation of a “Board of Peace (BoP)” as a transitional administration in Gaza to oversee reconstruction efforts.

The board is set to be led by Trump and other notable leaders.

According to the resolution, the "International Stabilization Force (ISF)" should work with Egypt and Israel along with newly trained and vetted Palestinian police force to implement various tasks, including ensuring the demilitarizion of Gaza and the destruction of existing military infrastructure.

Hamas rejected the resolution, saying the resolution “does not rise to the level of the political and humanitarian demands and rights of our Palestinian people."

The resolution also “imposes an international guardianship mechanism on the Gaza Strip, which our people, its forces, and factions reject,” the movement stressed.

Hamas warned that “assigning the international force tasks within Gaza, including disarming the resistance, undermines its neutrality and turns it into a party in the conflict in favor of the occupation.”
