Iran: UN Gaza resolution undermines fundamental rights of Palestinians
The Foreign Ministry said the resolution’s drafters “consciously ignored” the central role of the United Nations and previous UN resolutions concerning Palestine.
Resolution 2803, passed on Monday, endorses the establishment of an “International Stabilization Force (ISF)” in Gaza under a 20-point plan devised by US President Donald Trump, who says the plan is aimed at ending the Israeli regime’s war of genocide on Gaza that began in October 2023.
The ministry expressed “serious concern” about the resolution, reiterating Iran’s support for any regional or international initiative aimed at ending the Israeli genocide and crimes in Gaza, facilitating humanitarian aid, and ensuring the complete withdrawal of occupying forces.
According to the statement, parts of the resolution effectively impose a “guardianship system” on Gaza, stripping “the Palestinian people of their fundamental rights, especially the right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with Al-Quds as its capital.”
The ministry underlined that any international forces deployed must operate strictly under full UN supervision, with responsibilities limited to monitoring the ceasefire and overseeing humanitarian aid delivery and distribution
The statement also emphasized the responsibility of the international community, especially the guarantors of the ceasefire agreement, “to force Israel to end the occupation of Palestine and completely withdraw from the Gaza Strip”, noting that no decision can and should distort this.
Hamas and Israel agreed last month to the US-brokered Gaza ceasefire, aimed at ending the latter’s two-year-long genocidal war against Palestinians in the besieged territory.
