resolve YES if the United States is formally given control of the Gaza Strip by Israel and begins administering it, even if they don't have complete control over it due to Hamas.
if the announced date of control is after the end of the year, this resolves NO

3.00Draft UN resolution grants US and partners broad mandate to govern Gaza, provide security
Let us see how the timing works
In my view this paragraph of the draft meets the "be given control":
"Welcomes the establishment of the Board of Peace (BoP) as a transitional governance administration with international legal personality that will set the framework and coordinate funding for the redevelopment of Gaza pursuant to the Comprehensive Plan, until such time as the Palestinian Authority has satisfactorily completed its reform program, the satisfaction of which shall be acceptable to the BoP;"
The scope is really broad:
"international legal personality and transactional authorities for the performance of its functions, including:
(1) the implementation of a transitional governance administration, including the supervising and supporting of a Palestinian technocratic, apolitical committee of competent Palestinians from the Strip—as envisioned by the Final Communique of the Emergency Summit Conference of the Extraordinary Arab Summit—which shall be responsible for day-to-day operations of Gaza’s civil service and administration;
(2) the reconstruction of Gaza and of economic recovery programs;
(3) the coordination and supporting of and delivery of public services and humanitarian assistance in Gaza;
(4) any measures to facilitate the movement of persons in and out of Gaza, in a manner consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; and
(5) any such additional tasks as may be necessary to support and implement the Comprehensive Plan;"
I don't see how it can be argued that controlling the local government, economic recovery programs, military control, border control, and "any additional necessary tasks" won't meet any reasonable threshold for "to be given control". The only question mark is about this control being lead by US, but shared with others.
@strutheo your views?
The final text in UN Security Council is expected to be voted in one or two weeks.
