China, Russia Call UN Gaza Resolution Vague, Inadequate for a Just Solution
They argued that the resolution lacks the necessary clarity to support a just and lasting solution.

The Chinese representative to the UN stated that the draft, presented by the United States, was “non-transparent and deeply concerning.” He emphasized that the proposed arrangements for post-war governance in Gaza appear to exclude Palestinian participation entirely, contradicting the principles of sovereignty and national ownership.
He also noted that the resolution was adopted without any explicit reference to the two-state solution—an approach widely regarded as a global consensus.
Meanwhile, Russia’s UN envoy said his country could not support the resolution in its current form. Moscow had called for the Security Council to play a direct and effective role in overseeing the ceasefire’s implementation, but this demand was not reflected in the final text.
The Russian representative further argued that the resolution does not align with the two-state framework outlined in the New York Declaration and fails to provide a clear timeline for transferring control of Gaza to the Palestinian Authority.
He warned that certain provisions related to a proposed “Peace Council” and “International Force” were vague and troubling, potentially leading to the de facto separation of Gaza from the West Bank.
