Hamas: Trump’s threats to cut aid cheap blackmail

Wednesday 3-January-2018

Hamas movement on Wednesday slammed the US president Donald Trump’s threats to cut US aid to UNRWA and the Palestinian Authority.

Hamas’s spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said in a statement that Trump’s threats to stop the aid until the Palestinian Authority returns to negotiations with the Israeli occupation are “cheap political blackmail” that unmasks the US barbaric policy.

Barhoum stressed the importance of achieving national unity to be able to confront these pressures and called for investing more Arab and international efforts in support of the Palestinian rights against the US and Israeli policies.
