Hamas rejects UN Gaza resolution

Hamas rejects UN Gaza resolution

Tel Aviv, 18 November 2025 (dpa/MIA) - The Palestinian militant group Hamas rejected a UN Security Council resolution backing US President Donald Trump's Gaza peace plan, saying it failed to meet the political and humanitarian demands of Palestinians.

"The resolution imposes an international guardianship mechanism on the Gaza Strip, which our people and their factions reject," the group said on Telegram.

Trump's peace plan, released in late September, calls for Hamas to be disarmed, the deployment of an international stabilization force and the creation of a transitional administration run by non-partisan Palestinian technocrats.

Key disputes include the disarmament of Hamas, a full Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza and the territory's future governance.

"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 favour of the [Israeli] occupation," the statement said.

Any such force must be fully under UN authority and stationed only at Gaza's borders to monitor a ceasefire, Hamas added. Questions over weapons should remain an internal national matter, it said.
