Hamas rages over U.S. resolution reshaping Gaza, fearing international forces, disarmament, and long-term oversight that dismantles its grip on power.
Hamas erupted in fury on Monday as spokesperson Hazem Qassem lashed out at the U.S. draft resolution headed to the UN Security Council—an initiative widely seen as undercutting Hamas’ power structure and advancing Israel’s long-term security interests in Gaza.
Qassem insisted the proposal “does not serve stability,” revealing precisely why Israel and its allies believe it does:
it threatens Hamas’ freedom to rearm, regroup, and govern Gaza through intimidation.
🚨 Hamas Demands “Self-Determination” — Code for Restoring Its Rule
The organization demanded a Security Council resolution that would shield what it calls the “Palestinian nation’s right to self-determination,” effectively a plea to rebuild Hamas’ political and military dominance while blocking Israeli counterterrorism operations in Gaza, Judea and Samaria, and Jerusalem.
This complaint underscored Hamas’ real fear:
the end of its unchecked rule and the introduction of outside oversight that would cripple its terror capabilities.
⚠️ Hamas Media in Full Panic Mode
Hamas’ official newspaper Falastin published dire warnings about the American proposal. Hamas-aligned journalist Iyad al-Qarra accused the U.S. of plotting to “reshape the Gaza Strip under the guise of humanitarian aid,” admitting that the plan includes:
- International peacekeeping forces with real authority
- Demilitarization of Gaza — stripping Hamas of its weapons
- No forced Israeli withdrawal timeline, protecting Israel’s security freedom
- Long-term political supervision preventing Hamas’ return to power
In short, the structure envisioned by Washington would dismantle Hamas’ military infrastructure and block its political comeback.
🌍 Hamas Scrambles for Allies
Al-Qarra pinned his hopes on Algeria to block the U.S. initiative at the Security Council—a sign of how limited Hamas’ diplomatic backing has become. While the U.S. and several partners seek stabilization mechanisms that protect Israeli civilians and prevent Hamas’ resurgence, the terror group is working overtime to prevent any arrangement that curtails its influence.
