Palestinian resistance movement Hamas said the UN resolution does not satisfy Palestinian requirements.

The group said assigning an international force to disarm Gaza’s resistance “strips it of its neutrality, and turns it into a party to the conflict in favour of the occupation.”

Sultan Barakat, a professor of public policy at Hamad Bin Khalifa University, said the resolution is positive “in principle” but faces major obstacles in implementation.

He said it includes “one of the clearest mandates so far that has spoken about Palestinian self-determination and the potential of a state.”

He said the problem lies in interpretation and execution, especially by Israel.

He said Israel has “not really observed carefully the 20-point plan” and continues to carry out attacks.

He said this has eroded Palestinian trust and pushed Hamas to “revisit its position on the stabilization force.”

He said Israel “understands very well that Hamas will not accept the disarmament component of the mandate of the international force.”

He said Hamas could interpret the mandate differently because it refers to disarming non-state actors, while Hamas “sees itself as being the state.”

He said countries would be “extremely reluctant” to send troops if the mission required forcibly disarming Hamas.

The Palestinian Authority welcomed the passage of the US resolution.

In a statement carried by Wafa news agency, it said the plan “affirms the establishment of a permanent and comprehensive ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian assistance and the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination and the establishment of their independent state.”

The PA said it is “fully ready to cooperate” with the Trump administration and the UN to “ensure the implementation of this resolution in a way that ends the suffering of our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem.”

The PA’s position followed Hamas’s sharp rejection of the measure.

Hamas said the resolution fails to meet Palestinian political and humanitarian expectations.

Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister Varsen Aghabekian Shahin called the UN-backed resolution “the first step” towards peace.

Speaking in Manila, she welcomed the UNSC’s adoption of the US-drafted proposal endorsing President Trump’s post-war plan for Gaza.

“The UN resolution is the first step in a long road towards peace. That step was needed because we could not embark on anything else before we had a ceasefire,” Reuters quoted her as saying.

She acknowledged that Trump’s proposal has not detailed the route to Palestinian statehood, saying those elements would be clarified later.

“As long as these elements are in there, we’re happy with this first step,” she said.
