World leaders have reacted to the UN Security Council's approval of a US-backed Gaza resolution, which aims to establish an international stabilisation force to oversee Gaza's governance, reconstruction and security.

The resolution got 13 votes in favour, with China and Russia abstaining.

Some welcomed the vote and hailed it as a "path to peace" and an important step to consolidate the ceasefire.

Others expressed concerns, arguing that the resolution lacks clarity.

Here are some of the reactions:

Palestinian Authority

The Palestinian Authority welcomed the resolution in a statement carried by the WAFA news agency, calling for its immediate implementation.

"The State of Palestine tonight welcomed the adoption by the United Nations Security Council of the US draft resolution on Gaza, which affirms the establishment of a permanent and comprehensive ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian assistance, and the Palestinian people's right to self-determination and the establishment of their independent State," The Palestinian Authority said in its statement.

"The State of Palestine stressed the urgent need to immediately implement this resolution on the ground, in a manner that ensures the return of normal life, protects our people in the Gaza Strip, prevents displacement, secures the full withdrawal of the occupying forces, enables reconstruction, halts the undermining of the two-state solution, and prevents annexation."

The Palestinian Authority also said it's ready to work with the US, UN, EU, Arab and Muslim states to ensure the implementation of the resolution.

Hamas

The Palestinian resistance group Hamas rejected the adoption of the resolution, saying both Palestinians in Gaza and its factions reject it.

"The resolution imposes an international guardianship mechanism on the Gaza Strip, which our people and their factions reject," it said in a statement.

"Assigning the international force with tasks and roles inside the Gaza Strip, including disarming the resistance, strips it of its neutrality and turns it into a party to the conflict in favour of the occupation," the group added.

Hamas said that any international force, "if established, must be deployed only at the borders to separate forces, monitor the ceasefire, and must be fully under UN supervision."

United States

President Donald Trump hailed the adoption of the resolution, saying it will go down as one of the biggest approvals in UN history.

"Congratulations to the World on the incredible Vote of the United Nations Security Council, just moments ago, acknowledging and endorsing the board of peace, which will be chaired by me, and include the most powerful and respected Leaders throughout the World," Trump said on his Truth Social platform.

"This will go down as one of the biggest approvals in the History of the United Nations, will lead to further Peace all over the World, and is a moment of true Historic proportion!" he said.

Trump also said that "the members of the Board, and many more exciting announcements, will be made in the coming weeks."

United Nations

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres also welcomed the adoption, saying it's an important step to consolidate the ceasefire.

"The adoption of the resolution on Gaza by the Security Council is an important step in the consolidation of the ceasefire, which the Secretary-General encourages all parties to abide by," said his spokesperson, Stephane Dujarric, in a statement.

Urging diplomatic efforts to match concrete action, Guterres said: "It is essential now to translate the diplomatic momentum into concrete and urgently needed steps on the ground."

"The United Nations is committed to implementing the roles entrusted to it in the resolution, scaling up humanitarian assistance to meet the needs of civilians in Gaza and supporting all efforts to move the parties toward the next phase of the ceasefire," he said.

Israel

Israel welcomed the UN Security Council’s adoption of a US-drafted resolution, while criticisms arose from the opposition.

“The State of Israel and PM (Benjamin) Netanyahu applaud (US) President Donald Trump and his tireless and devoted team,” a statement by the prime minister's office said on X.

“The United Nations Security Council fully endorses President Trump’s 20 Point Plan and the appointment of the Board of Peace to be led by President Trump,” the statement added.

Meanwhile, Avigdor Lieberman, leader of the right-wing Yisrael Beiteinu party, regarded the resolution as a “mismanagement by the Israeli government and a concession on Israel’s security.”

“We have lost control over the country. International forces in the sovereign territory of the State of Israel, a syndicate that has stripped us of our ability to defend ourselves and handcuffed all the hands of the Israeli army —this is a return to the Mandate period,” Lieberman said. “The Middle East is changing, and not in our favor,” he added.

Russia

Russia's UN envoy Vassily Nebenzia argued that "key components" related to legal matters were not taken into consideration.

"It also lacks any clarity about the time frames for transfer to the Palestinian Authority of control over Gaza, any certainty surrounding the board of peace and the national stabilisation force the ISF, which, according to the text of the resolution we adopted, would appear to be able to act absolutely autonomously, without any regard for the position or the opinion of Ramallah," he added.

He further argued that the resolution "is reminiscent of colonial practices and the League of Nations, British Mandate for Palestine, when the opinion of Palestinians themselves was not taken into account."

China

China's UN envoy Fu Cong shared similar concerns and said the resolution is "lacking in many respects and is deeply worrisome," describing it as "vague and unclear on many critical elements."

"The draft resolution outlines post-war governance arrangements for Gaza, but it seems Palestine is barely visible in it, and Palestinian sovereignty and ownership are not fully reflected," he said.

Indonesia

Indonesia’s foreign ministry spokesperson Yvonne Mewengkang said it welcomed the resolution and stressed the importance of every party's involvement in it, "especially the Palestinian Authority".

"The resolution prioritises conflict resolution and prolonged peace through the capacity building of the Palestinian authorities," Yvonne said in a statement. "Indonesia will always support an independent and sovereign Palestinian nation."

Germany

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said the adoption of a resolution to end the war in Gaza by the United Nations Security Council was "good news".

After meeting his Serbian counterpart in Belgrade, Wadephul said Germany remained ready to "play a constructive role in the reconstruction of Gaza."
