Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said in a statement on Sunday that, „the draft resolution is unacceptable and aims to liquidate the Palestinian cause. It contains massive concessions.“ The resolution expresses the will of an influential group within the PLO and „does not reflect the national desire of our people,“ he added.

Abu Zuhri pointed out that the draft resolution includes items that Hamas cannot accept, the most prominent being re-designating Jerusalem as the shared capital of the „so- called two-states“. Abu Zuhri stressed that in the eyes of Hamas, Jerusalem will remain the indivisible capital of Palestine.
