UN Security Council Refocuses on Gaza Peace Plan Amid Ceasefire Violations

The U.N. Security Council has returned its focus to Gaza during an open debate on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, following a U.S.-brokered ceasefire in late 2025. Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, a founding executive board member of the Trump-chaired Board of Peace, stated that a pivotal juncture has been reached in President Trump's Gaza peace plan. However, ongoing ceasefire violations and the disarmament of Hamas remain central obstacles to the plan's full implementation.
