Hamas blast UN’s Gaza resolution: ‘Imposes mechanism aimed at fulfilling occupation’s goals’

Hamas issues a statement rejecting the UN Security Council’s approval of the American draft resolution on the future of the Gaza Strip.
The statement says the resolution does not meet the demands and rights of the Palestinian people, and that it “imposes on the Gaza Strip an international guardianship mechanism and a mechanism intended to achieve the goals of the occupation.”
It further states that granting powers to an international force — including the dismantling of “resistance” weapons — strips such a force of its neutrality.
“Any force must be present only along the borders and be fully subject to the United Nations,” the statement reads.
