TOP OF THE AGENDA | UN backs plan for Gaza stabilisation force and transitional governance |

|  | The resolution was backed by 13 countries, with Russia and China abstaining. Credit: Reuters | The UN body responsible for maintaining peace and security has backed a US-drafted resolution endorsing President Trump's Gaza peace plan. This gives a mandate for the deployment of an International Stabilisation Force which would work to demilitarise the territory, and the setting up of a transitional governance body, known as the Board of Peace (BoP). The US president said the "historic" vote was a way of "acknowledging and endorsing" the BoP, with its final membership to be announced soon. He is expected to chair it. Unlike earlier drafts, the resolution references a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood, something Israel strongly opposes. Hamas has rejected the resolution, saying it fails to meet Palestinians' rights and demands. |

| BEYOND THE HEADLINES | Mysterious drones have been spotted across Europe. How worried should we be? |
|
| |  | In September, Poland reported 19 Russian drone incursions into its airspace. | In recent weeks, drones have been spotted at airports, military bases and power plants across western Europe. It's not known where they're from, but suspicions often link them to Russia. As a result, calls are growing for a protective "drone wall". But how realistic is the creation of one? |
