NBC News - President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan was passed by a majority vote at the United Nations on Monday, though world powers were still divided over whether it can convert a fragile ceasefire into the long-term solution that has eluded the Middle East.
Much about the plan remains uncertain, with occasional outbreaks of violence between Israel and Hamas threatening the tenuous diplomacy at every turn and Palestinians inside Gaza suffering hunger and now flooding at the onset of a bitter winter.
The fraught path was made clear even before the delegates took to their desks, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — under pressure from his far-right coalition partners — denouncing the resolution's outlining of a future Palestinian state. Hamas also warned against the U.S. proposal.
The Security Council adopted the plan with 13 votes in favor, zero votes against and two abstentions, Russia and China.
