“The resolution imposes an international guardianship mechanism on the Gaza Strip, which our people and their factions reject,” the group says in a lengthy statement on Telegram.
This discontent echoed earlier comments by a Hamas spokesperson to Al Jazeera in which the group communicated that it would reject foreign control of the Gaza Strip.
“Assigning the international force with tasks and roles inside the Gaza Strip, including disarming the resistance, strips it of its neutrality, and turns it into a party to the conflict in favor of the [Israeli] occupation,” the statement said.
“Any international force, if established, must be deployed only at the borders to separate forces, monitor the ceasefire, and must be fully under UN supervision.”
