The United Nations' Security Council on Monday approved President Donald Trump's plan for ending the war between Israel and Hamas, and thereby establishing peace in Gaza.

Trump announced the 20-point peace plan last month, which included the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza and the release of all remaining hostages.

Israel would also not be permitted to annex or occupy the Gaza Strip under the peace plan and a "Board of Peace" made up of foreign heads of state would oversee the rebuilding of Gaza until the Palestinian Authority, which governs the West Bank, is ready to assume governance of the region.

The resolution passed the United Nations Security Council with 13 votes in favor and zero vetoes, according to the New York Times. Russia and China abstained.
