He added ​that until the responsibilities and formation mechanism of a proposed peace​ council ⁣are clearly defined, it risks becoming a form of legal occupation.

The deputy secretary-general emphasized that imposing ‍Israeli and ⁣American perspectives on Palestinians under UN auspices is unacceptable.

He continued by stating that deploying an international force in Gaza as⁤ a replacement for occupation is ‍also‍ unacceptable.

This senior ⁤leader of Palestinian ⁣Islamic ​Jihad asserted that the U.S. resolution uses​ vague terms aimed at appeasing Arab and islamic countries ⁢without ⁣safeguarding Palestinians’ rights.

He stressed ​that the American draft​ sets‍ new rules for conflict​ and threatens ‍to fragment Gaza.

Al-Hindi said: “We will not except Gaza being administered by America.”

The deputy secretary-general added that moast countries worldwide have‍ declined ⁣participation ⁢in any ⁣international force in Gaza ‍due to its undefined mission.

If adopted by‍ the Security Council, he ​warned they will ‍thoroughly assess the situation and announce their stance regarding⁢ upcoming developments.
