US seeks UN authorization for Gaza international force lasting through 2027 under Trump plan
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The United States has taken its Gaza plan to the U.N. Security Council and is now pushing for formal United Nations authorization of a sweeping, multi-year international force that would govern security in the Strip through at least 2027.
The move, which the administration says is necessary to implement President Donald Trump’s 20-point plan, represents one of Washington’s most significant decisions in years to place the United Nations at the center of a major Middle East security framework.
In a statement, the U.S. Mission to the U.N. said the draft was written with input from Qatar, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates. The Mission said the goal is to «bring to fruition President Trump’s historic 20 Point Comprehensive Plan,» which was supported by more than 20 countries at a summit in Sharm el-Sheikh on Oct. 13.

Negotiations with Security Council members began in the first week of November to «stand up the International Stabilization Force and begin a stable, secure, peaceful and prosperous future for Palestinians in Gaza, free of Hamas.» The Mission added that the ceasefire remains «fragile» and delays «have grave, tangible, and entirely avoidable consequences for Palestinians in Gaza.»
New details reported by Axios reveal the scope of the U.S. proposal. According to a draft labeled «sensitive but unclassified,» the resolution would establish an International Security Force in Gaza for at least two years, with a mandate extending through the end of 2027 and the possibility of extensions. A U.S. official told Axios the plan is to vote on the resolution within weeks and deploy the first troops by January, describing the force as «an enforcement force and not a peacekeeping force.»

US MILITARY TO OVERSEE NEXT PHASE OF PEACE DEAL FROM COORDINATION BASE IN ISRAEL
Robert Satloff, executive director of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, told Fox News Digital the U.S. went to the U.N. because several states Washington hopes will contribute troops require a Security Council mandate.
«The decision to go to the United Nations was driven principally by the request of participating states, states that the United States hopes will participate in the stabilization force who need a U.N. mandate to help them politically, to dispatch forces eventually to Gaza. So that’s the real origin of this, to enable, to give a political umbrella to participating states to play a role in the stabilization force.»

Satloff said that although Israel has voiced real concerns about U.N. involvement, it understands why Washington believes the mandate is essential. «There’s no doubt that involving the United Nations has its own complications, and I think that the Israelis have been pretty vocal about this. But they also appreciate that the United States believes it needs this sort of endorsement for the 20-point plan to move forward. The Israelis want to make sure that these complications don’t overwhelm the benefits of the plan. Which is a legitimate concern.»
He warned that the plan faces major challenges but urged against pessimism. «There are enormous obstacles to the implementation of the entire plan. The U.N. aspect of it is just one of them. We’re already seeing some fundamental disagreement over, say, the definition of disarmament, which could derail the whole effort. Now, I think one has to be hopeful. The opportunity here is huge. The desire to find solutions among the states that are committed to this is real and serious. So, while it’s totally legitimate to recognize the significant obstacles, I don’t think that we should get negative about the prospects here.»

Anne Bayefsky, Director of the Touro Institute on Human Rights and the Holocaust and President of Human Rights Voices, offered a starkly different view. Bayefsky told Fox News Digital: «Incredibly, the United States has subjected its plans for Gaza to U.N. authorization and oversight. Arab countries claimed U.N. involvement was ‘necessary’ for them to participate and support the Gaza international force. That was a lie and blatant power grab. The proof is in the text which could have been a one-liner noting, with approval, a non-U. N. initiative. Instead, the resolution is a long-list of orders doing enormous harm to Israeli national security, sovereignty and right of self-defense, hamstringing America’s range of action by a web of agencies and involvement antithetical to U.S. interests and peace.»
She said the move is «an about-face for American foreign policy on the United Nations and the Arab-Israeli conflict,» and argued that the United Nations «has repeatedly demonstrated its antisemitic bias, lack of good faith and support for Palestinian aggression.» Bayefsky added that the draft «fails to condemn Hamas» and «refuses to acknowledge and affirm Israel’s U.N. Charter right of self-defense before granting the treacherous U.N. unprecedented influence,» calling the omission «devastating to the prospects of real peace.»

Russia, however, has countered with its own draft resolution that strikes a profoundly different tone. Moscow’s draft demands an immediate and unconditional ceasefire, the withdrawal of all foreign forces from Gaza, and the deployment of a U.N. peacekeeping mission under the Secretary-General’s authority and with the consent of the parties involved.
The draft also says it reaffirms the 1967 borders and East Jerusalem as the capital of a future Palestinian state and insists that Gaza’s reconstruction must take place under Palestinian leadership and sovereignty, not through externally managed institutions. Unlike the American proposal, it contains no provisions for demilitarization or interim foreign governance, instead centering on «humanitarian relief and international law.»

There’s a new push to give federal reparations to descendants of slaves among congressional Democrats, this time being led by progressive Rep. Shri Thanedar, D-Mich.
Thanedar introduced a bill late last week that would set up a federal commission to «study and distribute land reparations» for the descendants of slaves in the U.S. The legislation has no formal backers and faces steep obstacles to advancing in the Republican-controlled House.
«The history of historical injustices against Black Americans by our federal government is nothing short of shameful,» Thanedar told Fox News Digital in a statement. «Formerly enslaved families were promised land as a means of securing freedom and self-sufficiency, but these promises were broken, and the devastating economic effects of this broken promise is still felt today.»
Thanedar’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment regarding how the legislation would work in practice.

Reparations refer to financial compensation for Black Americans intended to address economic harms their ancestors experienced during slavery and the Jim Crow era. Republicans oppose the idea over eligibility concerns and their belief that present-day Americans should not be responsible for harms committed generations ago.
The reparations push comes as Thanedar, a two-term lawmaker, is facing a serious challenge from the left ahead of Michigan’s August 2026 primary. State Rep. Donavan McKinney, D-Mich., is vying to unseat Thanedar in the deep-blue district with the backing of Sen. Bernie Sanders I-Vt., and the progressive group, Justice Democrats — despite Thanedar’s own progressive credentials.
But Thanedar’s support for Israel has served to alienate him from the furthest-left flank of his party, including Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., a fellow member of his state’s delegation. He left the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), of which Tlaib is a member, after Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel in 2023.
Tlaib is also supporting McKinney’s campaign.
Thanedar, an Indian American, has supported slavery reparations since before his congressional tenure.
«Every other community has — Japanese Americans got their [reparations], American Indians got their reparations,» the Michigan Democrat said in 2022 while running for Congress. «This is something that needs to be handled in a fair way.»

ILLINOIS CITY WAS THE FIRST TO PAY BLACKS RESIDENTS 25K IN REPARATIONS, BUT HOW WILL IT FIND MORE FUNDING?
Thanedar is an original cosponsor of H.R. 40, also known as the Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans Act, which aims to kickstart the reparations process for descendants of slaves. The Michigan Democrat is also a proud supporter of more expansive legislation that aims to transfer $14 trillion in estimated losses to reparations recipients.
The legislation was originally introduced by Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., in 2023, when it was similarly dead on arrival in the GOP-controlled House.
Progressive Democrats have long advocated for the passage of reparations legislation but have encountered resistance from members of the party’s moderate flank who view the idea as politically toxic.
Gov. Wes Moore, D-Md., vetoed legislation in 2025 that would have enacted a reparations commission at the state level. Moore is notably one of the only Black Democratic governors in the country and is rumored to have presidential ambitions.

Thanedar has also introduced articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump and other Trump administration figures, despite opposition from House Democratic leadership.

Insólito: un esquiador británico terminó la Copa del Mundo de Oslo bajo los efectos del alcohol
Gabriel Gledhill, esquiador británico de 23 años, cruzó la meta en la Copa del Mundo de Oslo tras aceptar bebidas alcohólicas del público durante toda la prueba. En los cincuenta kilómetros estilo libre de esquí de fondo, terminó en el puesto 67 y el deportista reconoció que bebió entre diez y doce cervezas antes de llegar a la meta. El incidente cobró notoriedad viral y desató un debate sobre los límites del espectáculo en el ámbito profesional.
El atleta, nacido en Inglaterra y residente en Noruega desde hace cinco años, explicó el contexto de su accionar a la agencia noruega de noticias NTB. Durante la competencia, aceptó todas las bebidas que recibió, consciente de que podría tratarse de la última vez que participaba en el circuito noruego de esquí de fondo por razones vinculadas a su situación migratoria. El atleta admitió: “Me ofrecieron mucha cerveza y alcohol durante el recorrido, por lo que terminé bastante borracho, pero fue muy divertido”. Además, reveló que también aceptó snus —un tipo de tabaco húmedo sueco— y hasta enjuague bucal, lo que le provocó vómitos durante buena parte del recorrido.
La permanencia del esquiador en Noruega se encuentra en riesgo, ya que las autoridades locales rechazaron su solicitud de residencia permanente por motivos económicos. El deportista enfrenta la posibilidad de abandonar el país antes del 28 de marzo, fecha en la que vencerá su permiso actual. Según sus propias palabras: “Significaría el fin de mi carrera. Mi entorno de entrenamiento se encuentra íntegramente en Lillehammer. Si tengo que irme del país ahora, tendría que abandonar el esquí de fondo y retirarme de este deporte”, declaró a NTB.
El comportamiento del atleta provocó duras críticas entre colegas y seguidores del deporte. Durante la carrera, el esquiador fue adelantado por competidoras de la rama femenina, algo poco frecuente en la competencia masculina debido a las diferencias de desarrollo y ritmo entre los circuitos masculinos y femeninos, lo que intensificó las dudas sobre su desempeño y actitud.
El portal deportivo español MARCA recogió la opinión de Petter Soleng Skinstad, exesquiador y comentarista de televisión: “A Gledhill le encanta ser el centro de atención en las redes sociales y la televisión. Pero hay un límite para lo que resulta entretenido. Creo que ese límite se ha alcanzado”.
Por su parte, el británico defendió que su comportamiento no perjudicó a los demás ni alteró el desarrollo de la jornada. Destacó que para él la carrera representó un momento especial vinculado a una posible despedida y “podría ser mi última carrera aquí, así que tuve que aceptar todas las ofertas de cerveza y alcohol que hicieron”, sentenció ante NTB.
La jornada no estuvo exenta de polémica entre seguidores y responsables del circuito internacional: la controversia alcanzó a entrenadores y dirigentes deportivos, quienes insistieron en la necesidad de preservar la integridad y el respeto en el esquí de fondo profesional.
La red social Instagram, a través de la cuenta oficial de la Copa del Mundo de Esquí de Fondo, publicó un video del atleta británico con una cerveza en la mano. En el mensaje, se optó por destacar su humor y la visibilidad que aportó al circuito internacional: “Hoy también fueron los últimos 50 km para un chico que se ha convertido en alguien reconocido en el esquí de fondo. Gracias por destacar esta actitud, Gabriel, y por traer tu humor, aura y visibilidad al esquí de fondo”.
Según MARCA, el incidente llevó al británico a convertirse en un personaje mediático dentro de la disciplina, tanto por su desempeño como por el episodio protagonizado en Oslo, lo que reavivó el debate sobre la profesionalidad y los límites del espectáculo en la alta competencia.
La conducta de Gledhill abrió interrogantes sobre posibles sanciones o futuras regulaciones relativas al consumo de alcohol en las pruebas de esquí de fondo. Hasta ahora, no se han anunciado medidas específicas.
El deportista, mientras tanto, enfrenta un futuro incierto ante la posibilidad de dejar Noruega en los próximos días. Agradeció el apoyo recibido y manifestó su intención de continuar en el esquí de fondo, ya sea en Noruega o en otro país, si no logra revertir su situación migratoria.
