The United Nations Security Council on Monday adopted a resolution welcoming the Gaza ceasefire proposal put forth by US President Joe Biden.
Tehran -ISNA- The resolution, drafted by the United States, received overwhelming support, with 14 members voting in favor and Russia abstaining.
The ceasefire proposal, announced by Biden on May 31, outlines a new three-phase plan aimed at achieving "a lasting cessation of hostilities" in the Gaza Strip and the release of all captives held by Hamas.
Hamas welcomed the ceasefire proposal. "We welcome the contents of the Security Council resolution regarding a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, complete withdrawal, the return of displaced persons, and reconstruction."
The resistance group emphasized its firm stance against any demographic changes or reduction in the area of the Gaza Strip and highlighted the need for essential aid to support the people in the territory.
Moreover, the representative of Hamas in Lebanon, Ahmad Abdul-Hadi, told Al Mayadeen that the UNSC's resolution is a direct result of the steadfastness of the Palestinian people and their Resistance.
The representative warned against the continuous threats issued by Israeli officials regarding the continuation of the war on Gaza despite the decision, stressing that these statements should be reviewed by the UNSC.
