Lemire: U.N. Security Council Endorsing Trump’s Gaza Plan ‘Certainly a Triumph’ for the Trump Administration

EXCERPT:

LEMIRE: "And that’s always been the key sticking point, whether or not they will lay down their arms. This was certainly a triumph yesterday for the Trump Administration. The U.S. has been pretty isolated at the U.N. over the Gaza war. Most of the countries, they’re very critical of how Israel prosecuted this conflict while the U.S. largely stayed in lockstep with Prime Minister Netanyahu. The key part here is the stabilization force that these other nations will put forth into the enclave in the weeks, months ahead. China and Russia abstained yesterday, as you’d expect. But twin that with MBS’s meeting today at the White House. It’s a state visit in all but name, because he’s not technically head of state, so they can’t roll out all the red carpets, but they’re roll out most of the red  carpets. And there is a sense here this is the key part of this plan to try to finally bring some stability to the region."
