"We feel optimistic that it's going to happen," Rubio told reporters after G7 foreign ministers met in Canada.
"I think we're making good progress on the language of the resolution and hopefully we'll have action on it very soon."
Rubio said the United States was speaking with different countries on ways to "balance their interests here, and how that's structured beyond just the security force."
The United States last week started circulating the draft resolution that would follow up on a ceasefire in Israel's genocidal war on Gaza.
While the Trump administration has long criticized the United Nations, a number of countries have said that they need the authorization of the Security Council before they can deploy troops to Gaza.
Rubio said that the deployment of the international force was crucial to allow for more assistance in the Palestinian territory.
"If you really want to see a huge uptick, not just in humanitarian assistance, but redevelopment, you're going to need to have security," Rubio said.
