The Resolution is the most detailed U.N. blueprint for resolving differences between Arabs and Jews since the U.N. recommended partitioning Mandatory Palestine into Arab and Jewish states with an economic union in U.N. General Assembly Resolution 181 in November 1947. Resolution 2803 focuses on disarming Hamas, stabilizing the ceasefire, providing food and other humanitarian aid, reconstructing Gaza’s housing and other infrastructure, training a Palestinian technocratic administration, and maintaining Israeli security. An international stabilizing force is to evolve, but no rules of engagement on whether to arrest or disarm Hamas members or whether only report and monitor incidents. The resolution does not change Hamas attitudes to destroy Israel or alter Israeli political views to withdraw from territories (source) as it had done from Lebanon in 2000 or from the Gaza Strip in 2005 only to find that when it ceded lands, thousands of Israelis ultimately died at the hands of those Arabs who controlled the ceded lands.
