US President Donald Trump has applauded the United Nations Security Council’s decision to authorize the deployment of international forces in Gaza, describing the move as a historic step toward restoring order and stability in the region.

Speaking shortly after the vote, President Trump referred to the newly approved structure as a “board of peace,” emphasizing that it will be “chaired by me” and composed of what he called “powerful, respected leaders” from around the world. He said the initiative aims to guide the mission’s political direction and ensure accountability in its operations.

Trump framed the UNSC-backed deployment as a turning point, arguing that it reflects the global community’s willingness to work together to end the prolonged crisis in Gaza. “This is a major moment for peace,” he said. “We are bringing together people who have influence, credibility, and the strength to deliver real results.”

While the US President celebrated the vote, the UN has not yet released full details on the makeup of the international force, its mandate, or the leadership structure that will oversee its implementation. Member states are expected to negotiate the operational framework in the coming days.

Regional reactions remain mixed, with some governments welcoming the international intervention and others expressing caution about the political implications of Trump’s claim to chair the “board of peace.” More official responses are expected as the details of the mission emerge.
