UN Security Council to vote on Trump peace plan for Gaza

 The UN Security Council was scheduled to vote on Monday, November 17, 2025, on a U.S.-drafted resolution endorsing President Donald Trump's peace plan for Gaza and authorizing an International Stabilization Force (ISF). 



The vote is a key step in providing international legitimacy for the plan, which follows a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas.

Key Aspects of the Draft Resolution and Trump's Plan:

 * Endorses Trump's 20-point Peace Plan: The plan focuses on security, reconstruction, transitional political/administrative arrangements, and regional cooperation.

 * International Stabilization Force (ISF): The resolution authorizes the establishment and deployment of a temporary ISF, with a mandate potentially running until the end of 2027. This force is intended to:

   * Monitor the ceasefire.

   * Secure border areas.

   * Protect civilians and humanitarian corridors.

   * Oversee the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip, including the decommissioning of weapons from non-state armed groups.

 * Transitional Governance: It "welcomes the establishment of the Board of Peace (BoP)," a transitional governing body for Gaza, which President Trump would theoretically chair until the end of 2027.

 * Palestinian Statehood: Unlike earlier versions, the draft text now includes a reference to a possible future Palestinian state, stating that after reforms and reconstruction, "the conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood." This was added due to pressure from Arab states.

 * Support and Opposition:

   * The resolution has gained joint support from several key Arab and Muslim-majority nations, including Qatar, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Jordan, Indonesia, and Pakistan.

   * It has faced criticism from some far-right ministers in the Israeli government and certain Palestinian factions.

   * Russia circulated a rival proposal that questions the role of the transitional authority.

This vote is seen as vital to reassure countries considering contributing troops to the ISF by giving the mission a formal UN mandate.

 As of Friday, March 6, 2026, the conflict between Israel, the United States, and Iran has entered its seventh day. The war, which began in late February following a series of joint U.S.-Israeli strikes, has escalated into a large-scale regional conflict dubbed "Operation Epic Fury." The following is a breakdown of the latest developments: 1. New "Phase 2" Offensive The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and the U.S. military have officially transitioned to a new stage of the campaign.  * Targeting Underground Assets: After establishing "near-complete air superiority" by destroying roughly 80% of Iran’s air defenses, the focus has shifted to bunker-buster missions.  * Bunker Strikes: Israel reported using over 50 fighter jets to destroy a massive underground bunker intended for Iranian leadership.  * Missile Production: Operations are now zeroing in on Iran’s defense industrial assets and ballistic missile production facilities buried deep underground. 2.

  " Mirror life " refers to a hypothetical form of synthetic life, such as bacteria, that would be built entirely from molecular components that are the mirror image of those found in all known natural organisms on Earth. This concept is rooted in the chemical property called chirality, or "handedness." Most major biological molecules—like the amino acids in proteins and the sugars in DNA and RNA—are chiral, meaning they exist in two forms that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other, much like a left and a right hand.  * Natural Life universally uses L (left-handed) amino acids and D (right-handed) sugars.  * Mirror Life would use the opposite: D-amino acids and L-sugars. Why Experts are Raising Red Flags: While the idea offers potential benefits (like developing new, stable drugs from mirror molecules), the creation of a whole, self-replicating mirror organism is raising serious warnings from scientists and ethicists:  * Immune Evasion and Untreatable I...

The Treasury Department issued a warning to its employees, whose offices are located next to the White House, to refrain from taking and sharing photographs of the ongoing demolition and construction of President Donald Trump's new ballroom addition. The reasons for the warning, according to a spokesperson for the Treasury, are related to security concerns. Sharing the photos could:  * Potentially reveal sensitive items.  * Reveal security features or confidential structural details. The warning was reportedly prompted after photos of the initial demolition of the White House East Wing, facing the Treasury building, were taken and widely circulated online. The construction is for a planned $250 million ballroom addition.
