Palestinian factions reject any guardianship or military presence in Gaza.

The Palestinian factions and forces stated that they reject any guardianship or foreign military presence or international bases within the Gaza Strip, affirming that this constitutes a direct infringement on national sovereignty.

The factions criticized the American draft resolution proposed for a vote on Monday in the Security Council in a statement on Sunday evening, asserting that it poses a danger as it paves the way for external dominance over the Palestinian national decision.

The factions added that the draft resolution transforms the administration of the Gaza Strip and reconstruction into an international supranational entity, stripping Palestinians of their right to manage their own affairs, noting that the draft resolution to establish an international force in the sector seeks to impose international guardianship over Gaza and pass a biased vision.

The statement from the Palestinian factions and forces also mentioned that any humanitarian effort must be managed through the relevant Palestinian institutions under the supervision of the United Nations.

The factions rejected any clause related to disarming Gaza or infringing on the Palestinian people's right to resist, emphasizing that any discussion regarding weapons should remain a national matter linked to a political path that ensures the end of occupation.

At the same time, the Palestinian factions and forces called for international mechanisms to hold Israel accountable for its violations and for starving the population through its control over the crossings.

Earlier on Sunday evening, Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem stated that the amendments to the American draft resolution intended for the Security Council do not serve to stabilize the situation in the Gaza Strip, warning that this project replaces the Israeli occupation with another form of guardianship.

Qassem said in an interview with Al Jazeera that the amendments to the project grant guardianship to non-Palestinian entities over the internal Palestinian reality, in terms of governance and security, alongside interference in internal affairs without waiting for Palestinian self-arrangements.

The Hamas spokesman added that the alternative is to issue a UN resolution that enhances the ceasefire and establishes an international force to maintain peace in Gaza.

He also stressed the need for the project to clearly state the mission of this force, which is to secure and separate the occupying army from the besieged civilians in Gaza, and to maintain the ceasefire.

Earlier, the Israeli Broadcasting Authority revealed that "Tel Aviv is exerting last-minute pressure on the Trump administration to soften the wording of an American draft resolution addressing a multinational force in the Gaza Strip, in addition to clear indications towards self-determination and the establishment of a Palestinian state."

The Broadcasting Authority added that the circle surrounding Netanyahu and senior foreign officials are conducting intensive communications with the White House and with leaders of Arab countries in order to change the wording of the most sensitive clauses in the project, which Israel considers "dangerous and unpredictable."

Qassem pointed out that the United States is working to appease some parties with non-binding formulations, stressing the need for a Security Council resolution that protects the Palestinian people's right to self-determination and prevents war on the sector, and also stipulates the complete end of the occupation.

He emphasized that the anticipated UN resolution must prevent the Israeli occupation from encroaching on Gaza, the West Bank, or occupied Jerusalem.
