UN to vote on Gaza stabilisation force plan that references Palestinian state

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : Saudi sources said it was remarkable that Trump was backing a motion to the UN endorsing the concept of a Palestinian state.
51% : The Russian-Chinese rival text is probably closer to the true views of the Arab states on a two-state solution, but the Gulf countries know they have to work with the US text since Trump's endorsement is necessary in order for Israel to accept the stabilisation force.
48% : Netanyahu faces pressure from far-right ministers after Saudi insistence on 'credible pathway' to statehood The UN security council is to vote on Monday on a US-drafted resolution to set up an international stabilisation force (ISF) in Gaza that includes a late and highly tentative addition on a future Palestinian state, added under pressure from Arab states.
48% : The standards and milestones that must be met for this withdrawal to occur would depend on agreement between the US, Israel, the stabilisation force and other parties.
46% : However, it appears the US has held out against a Saudi call for the stabilisation force to be answerable to the UN, as opposed to a Trump-chaired "board of peace" as outlined under his 20-point plan.
41% : The Israeli defence minister, Israel Katz, and the foreign minister, Gideon Saar, also posted statements on X denouncing a Palestinian state on Sunday, without mentioning Netanyahu.
37% : Speaking to his cabinet, Netanyahu said on Sunday that Israel's opposition to a Palestinian state had "not changed one bit".
35% : "Israel will not agree to the establishment of a Palestinian terror state in the heart of the Land of Israel," Saar wrote.
34% : UAE and Jordan have both said they cannot supply troops while Israel has vetoed Turkey joining the force on the basis that Turkey is too close ideologically to Hamas.
34% : There are fears in Israel that the US may now compromise on its demand for Hamas to be entirely disarmed, given the massive challenges of convincing or forcing the militant Islamist organisation to give up all its weapons.
33% : Netanyahu has long opposed a Palestinian state, saying in recent months that its creation would reward Hamas and endanger Israel's security.
28% : The Trump administration has largely ignored the UN or used its veto throughout the Gaza conflict.
