On Monday November 17, the UN Security Council adopted a resolution endorsing Donald Trump’s so-called ‘peace plan’ for Gaza. The resolution approves the creation of a U.S.-led “peace board” to supervise the Gaza Strip, calls for the ‘demilitarization’ of Gaza without imposing any restrictions on the arming of Israel, and authorizes an “international stabilization force” to police and disarm Palestinian resistance groups. Worst of all, the resolution does not provide for the creation of a Palestinian state. It merely expresses a vague aspiration that Palestinians might one day have discussions with Israel about a Palestinian state.
In this episode of R2R, Dimitri Lascaris analyzes the UNSC resolution with fellow attorney Craig Mokhiber, who resigned from the UN in late 2023 over its failure to stop what he described as a “textbook genocide” in Gaza. According to Craig, the Security Council’s resolution is an “atrocity”.
