"This resolution does not meet the level of our Palestinian people’s political and humanitarian demands and rights, particularly in the Gaza Strip … The resolution imposes an international guardianship mechanism on the Gaza Strip, which our people and their factions reject," Hamas said in a statement on Monday.
On Monday, the UN Security Council adopted a US-sponsored resolution authorizing the creation of an International Stabilisation Force (ISF) in the Gaza Strip. The ISF will work with Israel and Egypt under an initial two-year mandate to secure Gaza’s borders, protect civilians, deliver humanitarian aid, train a reconstituted Palestinian police force, and oversee the disarmament of Hamas and other armed groups.
Thirteen members of the Council voted in favor of the resolution, while two members - Russia and China - abstained from the voting.
