The General Arab Conference issued a statement on Tuesday expressing grave concern over the contents of UN Security Council Resolution 2803, adopted on November 17, warning of its serious threats to the Gaza Strip in both the present and future.
The conference warned that the resolution is “Western–Zionist par excellence,” stressing that it fails to represent the will of the Palestinian people, whether in Gaza or across historic Palestine, and completely disregards the position of Palestinian national forces striving to protect the people and achieve their freedom.
According to the statement, Resolution 2803 was designed to serve the goals of the occupation, particularly those it failed to achieve through two years of military aggression that resulted in some of the most egregious war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Fundamental Palestinian demands dismissed
The conference further criticized the resolution for ignoring the legitimate demands of the Palestinian people, including their rights to liberation, independence, and the basic needs of the population in Gaza, such as food, medicine, education, and reconstruction.
The resolution, the statement warned, effectively places Gaza under international guardianship and mandate, in violation of international law and the founding values of the United Nations, rejecting the creation of any international military presence in Gaza with the task of disarming the Palestinian resistance and controlling the Strip in coordination with Israeli military power.
Such a move, it said, represents an extension of occupation under a different label.
The statement concluded with a call on the Arab and international public to engage in widespread popular mobilization to confront and overturn the resolution. It also reaffirmed its categorical rejection of the measure and condemned all states that voted for or supported its implementation, whether inside or outside the Security Council.
All those in opposition
The UN vote drew significant backlash from Palestinian Resistance factions and forces for its complete neglect of Palestinian national will, as well as world powers such as Iran, China, and Russia, which chose to abstain from the vote.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry released a statement rejecting the resolution for violating the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, particularly their right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with al-Quds as its capital.
Russia slammed the vote as a low point for the UN Security Council, stating that the burden of implementing the Gaza plan now rests fully on those who drafted and supported it, especially the eight Arab-Muslim states.
Meanwhile, China expressed strong reservations over the US-drafted resolution on Gaza, arguing it fails to reflect key principles of Palestinian governance and the two-state solution.
"There is ambiguity in the key issue of post-war arrangement of Gaza," said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning during a press briefing in Beijing. "Important principles of the Palestinians governing Palestine and the two-state solution have not been fully demonstrated. This is different from China's consistent position. That’s why China didn’t vote for it."
