Russia has proposed its own draft resolution on Gaza at the UN Security Council after a US proposal failed for gain the support of Moscow, China and Arab nations.

Russia, China, and some Arab states oppose the proposal, citing concerns about a yet-to-be-established board temporarily governing the strip and the absence of any transitional role for the Palestinian Authority.

According to four UN diplomats briefed on the matter, who spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity, China and Russia — two veto-wielding members — have called for the “Board of Peace” under US President Donald Trump’s Gaza ceasefire plan to be removed from the resolution entirely.

However, the US maintains the language around the board that the US has proposed as a transitional administration for Gaza in the latest draft released late Wednesday.

    Board of Peace sounds like a slimy, self righteous, advertising jingle. What it really means is “Board of promoting US/Israeli geopolitical interests at the expense of Palestine, its neighbours and the world at large.”
