Hamas rejects UN Security Council decision on Gaza

Hamas on Tuesday rejected the UN Security Council decision on the Gaza Strip, saying the adoption of the US-sponsored draft does not meet Palestinian demands or rights, and does not reflect the suffering the territory has experienced over the past two years.

Hawzah News Agency- The movement said in a statement that the decision does not reach the level of the political and humanitarian rights of the Palestinian people, especially in Gaza, which it said has suffered “a war of extermination and unprecedented crimes” whose effects continue despite the announcement of the end of the war under the plan of US President Donald Trump.

The statement added that the decision imposes an international guardianship mechanism on Gaza, which Palestinians reject, saying it “seeks to achieve goals that Israel failed to achieve through military operations”.

Hamas said the decision separates Gaza from the rest of the Palestinian territory and brings new conditions that undermine the Palestinian right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent state with Jerusalem as its capital.

The movement stressed that “resistance by all means is a legitimate right under international law”, adding that the issue of factions’ weapons is an internal national matter that can only be discussed within a political framework that ends the occupation.

Hamas also criticised any role for an international force inside Gaza that includes disarmament duties, saying this would “remove its neutrality”.

It explained that any potential force should limit its role to separating forces and monitoring a ceasefire along the borders, working under UN supervision and coordinating solely with Palestinian institutions, with no role for Israel.
