Description

In a Middle East aflame with tensions, from Gaza to the Gulf, resolving the Palestine-Israel conflict remains central to wider peace, the Security Council heard today.

A limited ceasefire has been in place in Gaza since October 2025, when the Council endorsed the United States-backed “Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict”, welcomed the establishment of a Board of Peace and authorized the establishment of a temporary International Stabilization Force. However, violence and the humanitarian crisis persist, even as large-scale displacement of Palestinians and settler violence destabilizes the West Bank.
