Summary
President Donald Trump's administration is promoting an Israeli-backed resolution at the United Nations Security Council. The resolution aims to give the U.S. control over the Gaza Strip and separates it from the rest of Palestine, potentially preventing Palestinian statehood. The plan would set up a U.S.-led board with significant power over Gaza's governance and future.
