Palestinian Authority And Hamas Disagree On UN Gaza Resolution

The Palestinian foreign ministry and the Islamist group Hamas issued dueling statements on Friday in response to the adoption by the United Nations Security Council’s passage of a resolution meant to help send more humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip.

The Palestinian foreign ministry, which is part of the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank, termed the resolution a step in the right direction, saying it will help end the aggression, ensure the arrival of aid, and protect the Palestinian people.

“We consider it a step that may contribute to alleviating the suffering of our people in the Gaza Strip”, the statement reads.

However, Hamas, who governs Gaza, described the resolution as an insufficient step toward satisfying the impoverished enclave’s needs.

“During the past five days, the U.S. administration has worked hard to empty this resolution of its essence and to issue it in this weak formula… It defies the will of the international community and the United Nations General Assembly in stopping Israel’s aggression against our defenseless Palestinian people”, the statement reads.

Earlier on Friday, amid global concern over a mounting Gaza death toll in 11 weeks of war between Israel and Hamas and a deteriorating humanitarian situation in the Palestinian enclave, the United States refrained from voting on a resolution drafted by the United Arab Emirates.
