WASHINGTON, Nov 17 (Reuters) - The UN Security Council on Monday voted to adopt a U.S.-drafted resolution endorsing President Donald Trump’s plan to end the war in Gaza and authorizing an international stabilization force for the Palestinian enclave.

Hamas, in a statement, reiterated that it will not disarm and argued that its fight against Israel is legitimate resistance, potentially pitting the militant group against the international force authorized by the resolution.

Russia, which holds a veto on the Security Council, earlier signaled potential opposition to the resolution but abstained from the vote, allowing the resolution to pass. The UN ambassadors of Russia and China also abstained, complained that the resolution does not give the UN a clear role in the future of Gaza.

        Israel is backed by the United States in the UN. An uncooperative Israel can effectively block this.

        Alternatively it could devolve into something truly horrific, as you suspect. And the other members of the security council will deeply regret their votes.
