The UN Security Council has approved Trump's "peace plan" in Gaza, including the deployment of an international force
Hamas rejects the international force provided for in the resolution, warns that the international mission is not neutral, violates Palestinian sovereignty and that resistance is a "legitimate right." Guterres says the resolution on Gaza must establish a ceasefire and calls for accuracy.
On Monday, the UN Security Council adopted by 13 votes in favour, two abstentions (China and Russia) and no votes against a resolution containing US President Donald Trump's "peace plan" for Gaza, including the deployment of an international peacekeeping force.
The "historic" resolution is a "bold and pragmatic" guide, US Representative to the UN Mike Waltz stressed during a meeting at the UN headquarters in New York.
Trump's 20-point Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict provides for the creation of a Peace Commission, which will be led by Trump himself and will have the final say on issues relating to the Gaza Strip.
It also provides for the creation of an International Stabilization Force (ISF), hosted by 20,000 soldiers, to advance towards the next stages of the peace plan, which ultimately envisages the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza and the creation of a Palestinian state.
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has stated that the resolution is an "important step" towards "strengthening the ceasefire" and must be "respected" by all parties.
"It is essential that the diplomatic impetus be now directed with concrete and urgent measures. The United Nations is committed to fulfilling the functions entrusted to it," Guterres said in a statement from his spokesman, Stéphane Dujarric.
Guterres has stressed that the second phase of the US plan must lead to "a political process for a two-state solution in accordance with previous UN resolutions."
Hamas rejects Repudiation
The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) has opposed Resolution 2803 adopted on Monday by the UN Security Council and has particularly criticized the international force intended to deploy to the Gaza Strip. "The assignment of tasks and functions to an international force in the Gaza Strip, including the disarmament of the resistance, removes neutrality from the mission and, in the name of the occupation, becomes part of the conflict," the Palestinian group said in a statement.
Hamas rejects possible disarmament because "the weapons of resistance are linked to the existence of the occupation" and argues that disarmament will only come within a "political process that guarantees the end of the occupation, the establishment of the Palestinian State and self-determination."
Thus, for Hamas, this initiative "establishes a mechanism for achieving the objectives that the occupation (Israelis) has failed to achieve through its savage war of destruction" and warns that "combating occupation by all means is a legitimate right guaranteed by international laws and conventions".
He has also stressed that the new Security Council resolution "does not satisfy the demands and political and humanitarian rights of our Palestinian people" and recalled that "the effects and consequences of that war continue to this day, even though the war ended according to President Trump's plan".
That is why, in the face of the "unprecedented humanitarian disaster caused by the occupation", it has called for separating the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip from "politicization, blackmail or complex mechanisms".
Hamas has also lamented that this resolution "separates the Gaza Strip from the rest of the Palestinian territories and seeks to impose a new reality" and has defended the need to create a Palestinian state with capital in Jerusalem.
