The adoption of the U.S. draft resolution on Gaza by the UN Security Council represents a step fraught with wide-ranging political, security, and humanitarian risks. The resolution effectively reshapes the future of the Strip according to an American-“Israeli” vision that ignores the roots of the conflict and sidelines Palestinian national rights.

The main risks emerge in the following points:

1.    Legitimizing security arrangements that keep Gaza under international guardianship:

According to international media reports, the U.S. proposal includes the creation of transitional security arrangements led by an international force tasked with oversight duties in Gaza arrangements that Hamas has described as “international guardianship” over the Strip.

Assessments from Palestinian research centers indicate that this mechanism could weaken Palestinians’ ability to exercise sovereignty and grant external powers broad space to manage the security landscape in ways that align with “Israeli” interests.

2.   Restructuring the Palestinian political system:

According to political coverage published about the proposal, the resolution requires wide-ranging reforms to the Palestinian Authority and links Gaza’s reconstruction to these changes. As Palestinian analysts emphasize, this linkage constitutes direct intervention in the political structure and may reshape the Palestinian political system according to American standards. This would negatively affect the unity of national decision-making and place the political process under growing external pressure.

3.   Entrenching the humanitarian crisis and normalizing displacement:

Reports from humanitarian organizations indicate that the proposal offers temporary relief solutions without addressing the root causes of the humanitarian collapse, primarily the ongoing blockade and continuous aggression.

Sources within UN agencies also emphasize that as long as the occupation controls the crossings and borders, any humanitarian improvements remain subject to “Israeli” will, potentially turning mass displacement into a long-term reality intended to become “normalized.”

4.   Entrenching the equation of “ending resistance without ending the occupation”:

According to political analysts cited by international media, the U.S. proposal reproduces the equation long advocated by Washington: a prolonged calm in which resistance is neutralized without ending the occupation or lifting the blockade.

Under this approach, “Israel’s” security is ensured, while core issues—such as halting aggression, the right to self-determination, and reconstruction remain without binding legal or temporal guarantees.

5.   Creating a new political crisis under the cover of international legitimacy:

Experts in international law indicate that the resolution gives the occupation an opportunity to reorganize the political and security landscape in Gaza under the cover of international legitimacy, rather than pushing it to end the occupation or commit to a just political process.

According to observers, this means that Gaza could be managed in the coming years through an international system that serves the priorities of major powers, rather than the needs or national aspirations of its people.

The U.S. draft resolution, in its current form, does not offer a permanent solution for Gaza. Instead, it entrenches a new crisis managed internationally and exploited politically, threatening Palestinian unity and rights while giving the occupation a golden opportunity to reorganize the landscape under the cover of international legitimacy.
