The resolution also welcomes the establishment of a Board of Peace (BoP) “as a transitional administration” in Gaza that will coordinate reconstruction efforts.
It authorizes the BoP to establish a temporary International Stabilization Force (ISF) in Gaza “to deploy under unified command acceptable to the BoP”.
Countries will contribute personnel to the force “in close consultation and cooperation” with Egypt and Israel.

The UN Human Rights Office in the Occupied Palestinian Territory is appalled by the killing of 9-year-old Mohammad Bahjat Al-Hallaq who was shot by Israeli security forces (ISF) while playing football in Ar-Rihiya, Hebron, on Thursday, 16 October.
The fatality brings the total number of Palestinian killed by ISF and settlers since 7 October 2023 in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, to 1001.

On Saturday, groups of activists will gather for a series of protests coordinated by the campaign group Defend Our Juries (DOJ) in London, Manchester and Cardiff. An independently organised protest will also be staged in Derry in Northern Ireland.
Protesters plan to hold signs reading: “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.“
This follows the arrest of 29 people under Section 13 of the Terrorism Act, including an 83-year-old retired priest and an emergency worker, for holding the same signs in Parliament Square last weekend.
Action Against Hunger is devastated to share the news that two of our colleagues, Mohammed Hussein and Obada Abu Issa, were killed on the afternoon of June 26th during an airstrike. They were not working at the time, nor were they in a zone under displacement orders. Mohammed and Obada had been beloved members of Action Against Hunger’s team in Gaza for the last year.
Obada was 30 years old. He leaves behind his wife and two children. Obada joined the Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) team in February 2024 as a Program Field Assistant. His loss creates an irreplaceable gap for the team. A treasured colleague and friend, Obada will be remembered for his humor and professionalism.
Mohammed was 20 years old. He was looking forward to extending his contract for another year, carrying a vision for his future and trying to shape it as best he could. Mohammed’s friends and colleagues cherish him as an example of morality, a boy with a generous heart that embraced everyone, giving those around him sincere support without asking anything in return
The 50th medic from the Palestine Red Crescent has been killed in Gaza since the start of the war, the PRCS says in a statement.
Haitham Bassam Abu Issa, a nurse at the PRCS clinic in Deir el-Balah in the centre of the enclave, was killed while off duty on Thursday, the PRCS said.
Speaking to foreign ambassadors in Tehran, Araghchi emphasized that the war was “imposed” on Tehran and that Iran was left with no choice but to respond.
“Our defense is fully legitimate and will be carried out with strength, solely in response to aggression,” he said.
“If the attacks cease, Iran’s retaliatory actions will also end.”
HW4P was co-founded by a group of doctors in October 2023, in the UK, to combat the censorship they experienced, when standing up for the rights of Palestinian health workers and the rights of Palestinians to healthcare. This grassroots movement mobilised within a couple of months to now be established across 70 cities, globally and is the largest health worker founded and Palestine focused advocacy group in the UK.
The thousands of volunteers we now have globally, have truly become the beating heart of our unique voice and movement, advocating for an end to the ongoing genocide and a free Palestine.
After more than 600 days of escalating genocidal violence, we are appalled by the UK government’s failure to act to protect the Palestinian people. Furthermore, we are horrified by the UK government’s active and continued military, political and economic support to the Israeli regime. All of this despite the ICJ’s January 2024 ruling that determined Israel is plausibly committing genocide, and the subsequent November 2024 announcement of ICC arrest warrants for leading Israeli politicians accused of war crimes.
Your failure to act decisively in the face of ongoing atrocities renders the UK government legally and morally complicit in each and every act of violence, manufactured deprivation, and targeted destruction that Israel continues to commit against the Palestinian people.
We join the thousands of healthcare and humanitarian workers across the UK who have spoken out against the imposition of the conditions of occupation, apartheid and genocide by the Israeli regime in Palestine.

We believe that furthering our mission in academia will promote justice and equality in our society and region as a whole. Recognizing the rights of both peoples in Israel-Palestine according to international law, we struggle against the complicity of Israeli academia with the occupation, war, and apartheid, strive for academic freedom, and stand against the silencing of critical voices in Israel and the wider academic world.
