UNSC's failure in endorsing Gaza ceasefire plan would be tantamount to rewarding Hamas' terrorism, warns US diplomat

Washington, Nov 15 (UNI) As the UN Security Council is set to vote on Monday on the US-brokered Gaza resolution, Washington's Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz warned that failure to endorse the plan, would only serve to endorse and reward Hamas' terrorism, undermine the ceasefire, and support war.
Under the plan's dictates, the IDF will stage a phased withdrawal from Gaza, giving up its post-war security to a multi-national task force called the International Stabilisation Force (ISF), while the Strip's administration would be overseen by an apolitical Board of Peace, supervised by President Donald Trump.
The Board and the ISF would be a part of an interim administration, facilitating the war-torn enclave's security, and socio-political stability, until its reconstruction is complete, and a new democratically elected Palestinian regime takes the reigns.
