US optimistic for UN resolution on Gaza: Rubio
Secretary of state says US is speaking with different countries on ways to balance their interests here, and how that’s structured beyond just security force
NIAGARA, Canada (MNTV) – The United States has expressed optimism over the finalization of a UN Security Council resolution on Gaza.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he was optimistic that the Security Council would finalize a resolution on Gaza that would back an international security force.
“We feel optimistic that it’s going to happen,” Rubio told reporters after G7 foreign ministers met in Canada.
“I think we’re making good progress on the language of the resolution, and hopefully we’ll have action on it very soon.”
Rubio said the United States was speaking with different countries on ways to “balance their interests here, and how that’s structured beyond just the security force.”
The US last week began circulating a draft resolution that would follow up on a ceasefire in the two-year war championed by President Donald Trump.
While the Trump administration has long criticized the United Nations, several countries have said they need Security Council authorization before deploying troops to Gaza.
Rubio said deployment of an international force was crucial both for enabling greater humanitarian assistance into the Palestinian territory and for sidelining Hamas.
“If you really want to see a huge uptick not just in humanitarian assistance, but redevelopment, you’re going to need to have security,” Rubio said.
