Hamas says UNSC resolution demanding Gaza truce shows Israel's 'isolation'

China Daily  

People are seen among the rubble after an Israeli airstrike in Maghazi refugee camp, central Gaza Strip, on March 26, 2024. TEHRAN - Head of the Hamas Political Bureau Ismail Haniyeh said on Tuesday that Israel's "unprecedented political isolation" was evident in the resolution adopted the day before by the United Nations Security Council demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, according to Iran's official news agency IRNA. "The recent UN Security Council resolution is indicative of Israel's unprecedented political isolation and the United States also no longer has the will and ability to impose its demand on the international community. The Hamas leader stressed that despite heavy expenditures, Israel had failed to achieve its military objectives in Gaza and "is losing its political and international support". The United States, which had previously vetoed three draft resolutions that would have called for or demanded a ceasefire in Gaza, abstained Monday, making it possible for the resolution to pass.
