ALBAWABA - According to Israel's public broadcaster, the military is putting together a backup plan to return to combat in Gaza and attempt to disarm Hamas in the event that the diplomatic proposal supported by the United States is rejected by the UN Security Council. 

According to the report, Washington is working to move more quickly toward the next stage of its initiative, but it is still having trouble getting widespread support. 

Important information about the purpose of an international stabilization force that Washington intends to create is included in the U.S. draft resolution. As part of a larger post-conflict security framework, this force would coordinate with Palestinian police units. 

The Military Option Is Still Available 

Despite continued diplomatic efforts, if talks fail, the Israeli army is anticipated to offer a different strategy focused on resuming military operations to deprive Hamas of its weapons.

According to diplomatic sources on Friday, the U.S. resolution supporting President Donald Trump's peace initiative in Gaza is scheduled for a vote by the UN Security Council on Monday. 

International and Regional Support for the U.S. Proposal 

The Council has been urged to "swiftly" adopt the resolution by the United States and a number of its regional allies, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey.

The United States, Qatar, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Jordan, and Turkey issued a joint statement expressing their support for the proposal, highlighting its authorization of the establishment of an international stabilization force and stressing the need for its swift adoption.
