Breaking down the news for you… 🕊️ Hamas has given initial approval for the International Stabilization Force to enter Gaza — but only as a monitor, not a boss. Here’s the lowdown:
- Limited Mandate: Force to “monitor the ceasefire and maintain a presence” along borders. No extra powers.
- Palestinian Consent: Deployment only with Palestinian approval. Decision-making stays local.
- No Disarmament: Resistance won’t be forced to lay down arms — that’s a firm “no.”
Member of Hamas’ political bureau Husam Badran highlighted that this plan, backed by a UN Security Council resolution in November, mustn’t contradict Palestinian interests. 🚫🔫
Priority #1: Reconstruction. Gaza needs rebuilding “so our people can live in conditions worthy of their sacrifices.” Imagine rebuilding projects supported by tech-driven solutions and community-led initiatives — that’s the dream. 🏗️🌱
Looking ahead to phase two of the ceasefire: Hamas wants a “clear withdrawal of the Israeli occupation,” fresh political talks, and serious steps toward a Palestinian state.
For young changemakers in South and Southeast Asia, this move shows how complex peace efforts need clear rules, local buy-in, and big visions for the future. 🌏✨ Stay tuned — the story is just beginning.
