Gaza Strip – Hamas has issued a strong condemnation of the United Nations Security Council resolution regarding the Gaza Strip, which was adopted earlier this evening. The resolution, based on a revised U.S. proposal, saw 13 nations voting in favor, while Russia and China abstained.
In a statement released shortly after the vote, Hamas asserted that the Security Council’s decision falls short of addressing the legitimate political and humanitarian demands and rights of the Palestinian people, particularly those residing in the Gaza Strip. The organization argues that the resolution fails to adequately reflect the dire circumstances and urgent needs of the population.
Hamas further contends that the resolution establishes a form of international guardianship over the Gaza Strip, a proposition that is vehemently rejected by the Palestinian people, its various factions, and political forces. The statement also suggests that the resolution seeks to achieve objectives that the Israeli occupation has been unable to accomplish through its military actions.
According to Hamas, the Security Council’s decision effectively separates the Gaza Strip from the broader Palestinian territories and attempts to impose a new reality on the ground. The organization voiced concerns that the resolution could undermine Palestinian sovereignty and self-determination.
A key point of contention for Hamas is the mandate given to the international force outlined in the resolution. The organization believes that assigning tasks such as disarming resistance groups within the Gaza Strip would compromise the force’s neutrality and transform it into a party to the conflict, effectively siding with the Israeli occupation. This, Hamas argues, is unacceptable and undermines the prospects for a just and lasting peace.
The situation in the Gaza Strip remains highly volatile, and this resolution is likely to further complicate the already complex dynamics in the region. DZWatch will continue to monitor developments closely and provide updates as they unfold.
