Once again, it seems Israel is being left out of the discussion regarding its security

A Diplomatic Ambush: U.S. Proposes Gaza Peace Plan Without Telling Israel

America’s New Mandate: Trump’s UN Resolution Turns Israel Into a Bystander in Its Own War

In a move that sent shockwaves through Jerusalem’s political and security establishment, the United States, under President Donald J. Trump, convened an emergency session of the United Nations Security Council on Wednesday to introduce a draft resolution proposing the deployment of an “International Stabilization Force” (ISF) in Gaza once the war concludes.

The problem? Israel wasn’t told.

While the Trump administration frames this initiative as a bold leap toward peace, Israeli officials are privately fuming. The message, they say, is unmistakable: Washington is now dictating Israel’s postwar fate rather than coordinating it. Make no mistake, Israel was party to some of the concepts included in the resolution, however it has been shut out of many of the decisions and was not afforded the opportunity to review the draft resolution in advance. It is this which is raising eyebrows and alarms in Jerusalem.

A Surprise from Washington

Sources within Israel’s National Security Council were caught completely off guard. One senior official, visibly frustrated, admitted that “journalists have more information than we do, it makes no sense.”

In the annals of U.S.–Israel relations, there have been difficult moments. But this? This feels like a diplomatic ambush wrapped in the language of partnership.

According to the leaked text, the proposed ISF would take over Gaza for a minimum of two years, with sweeping powers to “demilitarize” the enclave, train a new “Palestinian security force,” and manage coordination with both Israel and Egypt under a so-called “unified command.”

The idea sounds familiar, and dangerously naïve. It’s Oslo all over again, but this time with blue helmets and American flags. The United Nations as an institution has proven to be against Israel and despite its claim of neutrality, the fact remains that in the General Assembly, Human Rights Council and even Security Council, Israel has been singled out far more than any other nation. Many in Israel believe that the establishment of another UNIFIL or UNRWA-like entity will only serve to continue this trend.

Who’s at the Table, and Who Isn’t

Ambassador Michael Waltz, America’s representative to the UN and a decorated combat veteran, chaired the meeting. But the guest list read like the roll call of Israel’s regional adversaries and frenemies:

  • Qatar, the largest state sponsor of Islamist movements worldwide and Hamas’s chief financier.

  • Turkey, whose Islamist leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan dreams openly of “reclaiming Jerusalem” as part of his Caliphate revival fantasy.

  • Egypt and Saudi Arabia, walking the line between diplomacy and double-dealing.

  • The UAE, the Abraham Accords partner now being asked to endorse an initiative Israel wasn’t even briefed on.

The stated purpose: to “demonstrate regional support” for America’s vision. The real purpose, according to Israeli insiders, is to manufacture consensus for a foreign-imposed administration of Gaza that limits Israel’s freedom to act.

The “Technocratic” Mirage

The draft resolution also calls for creating a “Palestinian technocratic committee”, a supposedly apolitical civil administration that would run Gaza’s public services until December 31, 2027, with potential extensions “in coordination with Israel and Egypt.”

But anyone who has studied Middle Eastern governance knows what this means: a bureaucratic fig leaf for Western governments to funnel legitimacy to Hamas-linked operatives under a new title.

We’ve seen it before, from the “temporary” UNRWA refugee administration in 1949 that became a permanent anti-Israel institution, to the Oslo-era Palestinian Authority that turned into a kleptocracy funded by foreign taxpayers.

Once international bureaucracies arrive, they never leave.

Trump’s Gamble, or Power Play?

To Trump’s credit, his team isn’t hiding its ambitions. The U.S. mission to the UN issued a statement dripping with triumphalism:

“Under President Trump's resolute leadership, the United States will achieve concrete results at the UN, not empty words. The parties have seized this historic opportunity to put a definitive end to decades of bloodshed and to realize the president's vision of lasting peace in the Middle East.”

But behind the rhetoric lies a simple, uncomfortable truth: Israel was not consulted.

The very state that fought, bled, and lost sons and daughters to dismantle Hamas’s terror machine is now being asked to cede operational control of Gaza’s future to an international coalition that includes nations openly hostile to its existence.

This is not “peace.” It’s a managed containment plan, a Western-devised experiment to turn Gaza into an international protectorate while keeping Israel on a short leash.

The Bottom Line: A Dangerous Precedent

If adopted, this resolution would mark one of the most significant foreign interventions in Israel’s strategic autonomy since the 1956 Sinai crisis.

It risks setting a precedent that Israel’s victories can be administered by others, that its enemies can return under new logos, and that its sovereignty can be negotiated away in conference rooms rather than defended in the field.

The war may be drawing to an end in Gaza, but a new kind of battle is just beginning. This one won’t be fought with tanks or drones. It will be fought with diplomatic language, UN mandates, and American signatures.

And this time, Israel might find itself surrounded, not by rockets or terrorists, but by allies who think they know better.
