In a statement, Hamas rejects the US-drafted resolution that is up for discussion at the UN Security Council today.
According to a copy obtained by The Times of Israel, the resolution condemns Hamas, demands the immediate release of all hostages, and recognizes Israel’s right to self-defense, but also calls for a humanitarian pause, urges respect for international laws on protecting civilians, and demands immediate humanitarian access to Gaza.
The terror group claims the resolution is “an extension of the political cover” that the US provides to Israel, and that the amendments made so far to the text “do not meet the minimum level of justice.”
Hamas also calls on Security Council member states to force Israel to put an end to its attack on Gaza, open the border crossings and facilitate the entry of humanitarian aid into the Strip.
