Jeremy Scahill On Palestinian Forces And Factions’ Reaction To The UN Resolution
Scahill highlights the response from leading Palestinian forces and factions, reading from a joint statement representing a broad cross-section of Palestinian society. The statement rejects the Security Council resolution — “deeming it a tool of Israeli control and complicity in the genocide” of the Palestinian people — and condemns the effective “trusteeship” the plan creates, saying it violates Palestinians’ right to self-determination.
Scahill says resistance leaders he interviewed this week were open to an international force, but not to Term 7, which requires that force to work with Israel to demilitarize Gaza. As he puts it: “This international force, now endorsed by the UN, is going to include the involvement of Israel in the disarmament of the very people it has been trying to annihilate from this world.”
