Israel has dismissed the UN’s ceasefire resolution also. And Abu Ahmad, denouncing it here, doesn’t seem to realize how advantageous it would have been for his cause.
“Islamic Jihad dismisses Security Council resolution,” from Maan News Agency, January 9 (thanks to James):
Gaza — Ma”an — Islamic Jihad’s military wing, the Al-Quds Brigades, one of the parties to the conflict in Gaza, said on Friday that a new UN Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire has nothing to do with the welfare of Palestinians.
Al-Quds Brigades spokesperson Abu Ahmad said in a statement, “We supposed that the Security Council would criminalize the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip and would call for their immediate withdrawal and lift the blockade and open the crossings.”…
He also said that other Palestinian factions would continue with resistance to the Israeli invasion “without regret.”
