  Speaker 1: President Trump has welcomed the passing of a UN resolution
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: endorsing his Gaza Peace Plan. It also authorizes key elements
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: of its second phase. He said, a proposed Board of Peace,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: a transitional governing body for the territory, would be chaired
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: by himself. The plan also envisages her Mass disarming and
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: an international stabilization force being sent into Gaza. Her Mass
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: swiftly rejected the proposals. Thirteen member states voted in favor
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: of the plan, but Russia and China abstained. Here's the
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: moment the resolution was passed at the UN.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: The result of the voting is as follows, fourteen votes
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: in favor, zero votes against, two abstensions. The draft resolution
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: has been adopted as resolution tainted eight zero three five.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: That moment in the Security Council in New YORKA Netta
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Taufik sends this report.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: President Donald Trump reacted to the passage of the resolution,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: saying it was a moment of true historic proportion. He
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: said the Board of Peace would be chaired by him
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: and its other members. The most powerful, respected leaders throughout
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: the world, he said, would be named in the coming weeks.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Under the resolution, the Board of Peace would supervise temporarily
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: governance of a Palestinian technocratic apolitical committee and oversee the
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: reconstruction of Gaza and the delivery of humanitarian aid. And
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: the International Stabilization Force would work with Israel and Egypt,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: along with a newly trained Palestinian police force to help
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: secure border areas to disarm non state armed groups, including Hamas,
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: and the US ambassador Mike Waltz told Council members that
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: any delay would cost lives. He said a vote against
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: the resolution would be vote to return to war, but
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: Russia and China did not exercise their vetos. Instead, they
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: abstained to let the resolution pass, largely because the Palestinian
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Authority and eight other Arab and Muslim nations backed it. However,
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: both Moscow and Beijing criticized the resolution. They said there
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: was little clarity about the key mechanisms compositions, that it
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: didn't ensure the participation of the UN, and that it
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: failed to explicitly reiterate a firm commitment to the two
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: state solution. Now, Israel's Prime Minister nen Yahoo reasserted his
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: opposition to a Palestinian state, and Hamas swiftly rejected the
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: resolution as well. It claimed that an international force would
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: not be neutral, but would be a party to the conflict,
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: favoring Israel, and it rejects any attempts for it to disarm.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Neta Taufik in New York. Let's go live to Jerusalem
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: and a Middle as correspondent La Yoland, what is the
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: reaction being there to the seeing this resolution.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: There's not been that much new response from the Israeli leaders, because,
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: of course Israel, along with Arab allies of the US,
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: was very much involved in the negotiations that went on
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: intensely leading to the final text of this UN Security
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: Council resolution. Now ahead of the vote, there was alarm
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: expressed by some members of Israel's governing coalition about language
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: that was being included which keeps alive that the possibility
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: of a future Palestinian state. That prompted the Israeli Prime
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: Minister Benjamin Netanya, who to come out saying once again
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: that he firmly rejects that. He said his position hadn't
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: changed one bit. And we also had the Israeli Ambassador
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: to the UN, Danny Dunnon, coming out stressing the importance
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: of Hermas disarmament and saying that you know, Israel would
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: not stop or let up until Hamas no longer posed
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: a threat to it. And there is, you know, this
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: rejection by her Mass of the in its statement of
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: the resolution, which is really key here. The Palestinian authority
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: has welcomed the new resolution, but her Mass came out
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: really stressing that it was not ready to give up
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: its weapons without the creation of a Palestinian state, arguing
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: that its fight against Israel as an occupying power was
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: what it referred to as legitimate resistance. And this response
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: from her Mass does seem to kind of potentially line
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: it up for future conflict with the new International Stabilization
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: Force that will be going into Gaza with its mandate
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: given by this new resolution, because it's saying that in
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: the text it can use military force to carry out
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: its mandate to oversee the process of demilitarizing Gaza.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: And your land in the West Bank. Further settler attacks
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: on Palestinians that bring us up to date on that.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: So we're just speaking to the of this Palestinian village
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: not far from Bethlehem, which saw settlers going on a
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: rampage last night with several cars set on fire houses
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: set on fire as well, and this came after Israeli
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: forces had taken the rare step of trying to evict
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: settlers from an outpost which had been set up without
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: Israeli authorization not very far away, and Israeli police saying
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: that there were six Israelis who were arrested as a
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: result of these confrontations that went on with tires being
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: burned and metal bars stones being thrown at security forces.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: Now that actually led to Benjamin Ettania who taking the
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: rare step of coming out and condemning the settler isolands.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: He said that it was a handful of extremists that
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: were responsible, that they were taking the law into their
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: own hands, and he promised that there would be a
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: committee set up with relevant ministers to try to deal
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: with this problem as soon as possible. Now, during the
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: war in Gaza, there has been this real surge in
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: settler violence that's gone on in parallel in the West Bank.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: But we've really seen that peaking in just the last
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: few weeks, with the UN's Humanitarian Office saying that in
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: the nearly twenty years that it's been monitoring extremist settler
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: attacks in the West Bank, it saw the biggest number
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: of attacks more than two hundred and sixty in the
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: month of October, that has led to a lot of
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: international condemnation of this phenomenon.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Yolene, thank you very much. Jolanel in Jerusalem,
