Barhoum: We demand lifting punitive measures against Gaza immediately

Tuesday 3-October-2017

Hamas Movement called on the consensus government and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to immediately lift all of the punitive measures imposed on Gaza Strip.

The spokesman of Hamas Fawzi Barhoum said in an exclusive statement to the PIC on Tuesday that his Movement has offered all what can be done in order to allow the government take over its responsibilities.

“Hence Fatah Movement has to abide by its promises of lifting punitive measures imposed on Gaza as soon as Hamas dissolves the administrative committee and immediately after the Palestinian Authority government assumes its responsibilities” Barhoum said.

The statement of the consensus government during its first meeting in Gaza has ignored the Gazan demands of rescinding the punitive measures that have been lately imposed on the coastal enclave.
