In a significant diplomatic development, Guyana has expressed its support for the United Nations Security Council’s adoption of a resolution endorsing former U.S. President Donald Trump’s 20-point peace plan for Gaza. President Irfaan Ali, in a statement on his Facebook page, emphasized Guyana’s principled stance in voting in favor of the resolution, which aims to solidify the existing ceasefire and foster sustainable peace for the Palestinian people. He also commended the United States for its leadership in this initiative. The resolution, approved on Monday, provides a UN mandate for Washington’s vision to rebuild Gaza after two years of conflict described by the international community as a genocide against Palestinians. This marks a notable diplomatic achievement for the Trump administration, which had faced isolation at the UN due to its unwavering support for Israel. The resolution calls for the deployment of an International Stabilisation Force to demilitarize and govern Gaza, alongside the establishment of a ‘Board of Peace’ to oversee the peace process. The vote saw 13 members in favor, with Russia and China abstaining, influenced by support from several Arab and Muslim nations. Guyana has consistently advocated for a peaceful resolution to the Gaza conflict, with President Ali urging the UN to prioritize principle over power in addressing global crises. He reiterated Guyana’s commitment to a two-state solution as the only viable path to resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, condemning the destruction in Gaza as a systematic slaughter and displacement of Palestinians.
