Gaza(The COW News Digital)The United States has made it clear that Hamas will not be accepted in any governing role in Gaza under any future political or security arrangement. The position was outlined as Washington presented a new plan on Gaza’s post-conflict framework at the United Nations Security Council.
According to the US envoy, the proposed plan focuses on the complete demilitarization of Gaza. All tunnels and weapons manufacturing facilities in the territory would be dismantled, while international observers would oversee the process of weapons destruction to ensure transparency and compliance. The plan also includes discussions at the global level on a potential buyback program aimed at removing weapons from Gaza permanently.
Under the US proposal, Israel would begin a phased withdrawal from Gaza once Hamas agrees to surrender its weapons. The plan envisions the deployment of an international stabilization force tasked with maintaining peace and order in the territory. This force would be led by a US military general and would operate with the stated objective of restoring stability and preventing a resurgence of armed conflict.

Washington further proposed that the United States, along with Egypt and Qatar, would act as guarantors of a ceasefire arrangement. American officials argue that the involvement of regional and international stakeholders is essential to ensure long-term security and to prevent Gaza from returning to cycles of violence.
The US delegation stressed that the future governance of Gaza must exclude Hamas entirely, emphasizing that the group’s continued political or administrative control is unacceptable. Officials maintained that any political structure in Gaza should align with international norms, security requirements, and humanitarian considerations.
However, the proposal has faced resistance at the United Nations. Russia and China formally protested against the US-drafted resolution during the Security Council session and chose not to participate in the voting process. Their move highlighted ongoing divisions among major powers over the approach to Gaza and the broader Middle East conflict.
Diplomatic observers say the US plan represents one of the most detailed international efforts so far to outline a post-war framework for Gaza. Supporters argue it could pave the way for stability if implemented effectively, while critics warn that excluding key local actors may complicate efforts to achieve lasting peace.
As discussions continue at the United Nations, the situation in Gaza remains uncertain. The proposal is expected to spark further debate among Security Council members, regional actors, and humanitarian organizations, all of whom hold differing views on Gaza’s political future and security arrangements.
