Hamas and other factions inside Gaza are rejecting the U.S.-backed U.N. plan to place Gaza under the control of a U.S.-led board and an international stabilization force. In a statement, the Palestinian groups likened the plan to a “deep international partnership in the war of extermination waged by the [Israeli] occupation against our people.” This is Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem.

Hazem Qassem: “This resolution fully adopts the Israeli position and completely ignores the Palestinian position and the interests of our Palestinian people here in the Gaza Strip. Netanyahu does not want to continue with the ceasefire agreement, but rather wants to impose his vision on the Gaza Strip and the entire region.”

This comes as Israel continues to carry out airstrikes in Gaza. Officials in Gaza say Israel has killed 279 Palestinians since the ceasefire came into effect in October.
