"Only President Trump has the ability to bring all sides together, just as he did at Sharm El-Sheik," Waltz told Fox News Digital. "He’s the only person who can truly bridge the divides between the Israelis, the Palestinians and others in the region."

Waltz said the president’s plan is "the best chance for real peace in the Middle East in a generation."
"And frankly, it’s a real test for the United Nations—to step up, support the president’s plan, and start implementing it," Waltz told Fox News Digital.
"We’ve seen the death and destruction the war in Gaza caused," Waltz said. "If we can rally the international community to come together and resolve it using the tools of the UN, that’s absolutely the right thing to do—and it’s fully consistent with an America First agenda."
"This process of securing peace in Gaza with a Security Council resolution is really about getting the UN back to basics," Waltz continued. "That’s what we’re calling it—back to basics. It’s about strictly focusing on establishing and keeping peace, and in this case, supporting what the president has already set in motion."

The source also told Fox News Digital that representatives from the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and Qatar—not members of the security council—presented the resolution with Waltz and the U.S. Mission to the broader security council.
"We think that’s really strong," the source said. "This is about getting humanitarian aid in, stabilizing, governing, and rolling up our sleeves and getting to work and having the international community pay for it."

The source said the resolution would create a mechanism, led by Jared Kushner, Middle East Envoy Steve Witkoff and Secretary of State Marco Rubio that would ensure "the dollars are going to be used efficiently with a private sector mentality in mind."
Rubio has said that the Trump administration is "seeing things we never thought we’d see before, like the number of countries willing to participate in this effort, be it through money or personnel, or both, or expertise."
"We’ve never seen this sort of international cohesion behind something," Rubio said. "So we have to be pursuing those opportunities because they’re really great, historic, and important."
Meanwhile, the source said the U.S. is "in the thick of negotiations," but is "moving lightening-fast by UN terms."

"They do not want to be part of opposing the best chance we’ve had for peace in a generation," the source said. "And they don’t want to play the part of bureaucratizing and then being responsible for the fighting resuming."

The president has described the peace plan as "the start of a grand concord and lasting harmony for Israel and all the nations of what will soon be a truly magnificent region."
"I believe that so strongly," Trump said of the plan. "This is the historic dawn of a new Middle East."
