Ambassador Michael G. Waltz of the USA addresses the UN Security Council meeting on a resolution authorizing a Board of Peace and an International Stabilization Force in Gaza.
The Security Council has passed a US-backed resolution which will establish an international force to restore order in Gaza, protect civilians and open the way for large-scale aid and rebuilding. There were 13 votes for, none against – while Russia and China abstained amid concerns that Russia might veto the text. US ambassador Mike Waltz thanked ambassadors, hailing it as an “historic and constructive resolution” which charts a new course for the Middle East.
