If Russia tries to veto Trump’s Gaza peace resolution, who knows what would happen. Tomahawks for Ukraine, maybe? I don’t know. Here’s hoping Russia thinks twice—and abstains.

Under the Russian draft, there is no relief for the people of Gaza nor security for anyone. Just a report. No wonder the US, Qatar, Egypt, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Jordan, and Türkiye all supported the draft US resolution.

This should be rejected by anyone who wants Gaza rebuilt, as it's clear Arab gov'ts will not contribute to reconstruction if Hamas keeps its weapons so it can attack Israel. The Israeli counterattack would destroy whatever was rebuilt.

This is un-serious. Instead of the Board of Peace and a robust International Security Force to demilitarize Gaza, para. 2 proposes the SYG “identify options” and “provide” a “report to the Security Council”. Nothing about demilitarizing Gaza or disarming Hamas.

3 of 3: (I skipped the rest of Annex 1, the Trump 20-point plan.) On paragraph 10, note that UNSCR 1031 (1995) for Bosnia also had a reporting requirement, so this is routine and does not put the Board of Peace under UN auspices.

2 of 3: Note the change to paragraph 7 is to bring in relevant language from Trump plan paragraph 16, so it's less of a substantive change; it's giving the Trump plan language the force of an UNSCR.

2 of 2: This includes who gets contracts, who controls tax revenues, and who gets key government appointments. Keeping the money out of Hamas’s hands is a key to peace.

The Israeli reduction in aid into Gaza is not the greatest danger to the ceasefire right now, but if Hamas is living up to the deal, Trump seems prepared to keep Israel on track. Right now, though, Hamas is dangerously close to striking out.

Not turning over remains of almost all hostages in the next couple of days could be strike 1. Continuing executions could be strike 2. Not laying down weapons could be strike 3.

2/4 If Hamas does not live up to the terms of the Trump 20-point plan, Trump could let Israel resume attacking Hamas fighters. Hamas needs to understand what “three strikes and you’re out” means.
