Hamas says it refuses any plans for Gaza which ignore the Palestinian people’s will.

In a statement the movement said: “We stress our refusal of any position that supports the entry of foreign forces into Gaza under any name or justification.”

“The administration of the Gaza Strip after the defeat of the fascist aggression is a purely Palestinian matter that our Palestinian people agree on in all its aspects.”

Adding that “the Palestinian people will not allow any guardianship or imposition of any external solutions or equations that detract from their principles.”
