Hamas slams Shtayyeh gov’t for not lifting Gaza sanctions

Wednesday 4-September-2019

Hamas spokesman Hazem Qasem has strongly denounced the government of Shtayyeh for persisting in taking measures contributing to worsening the humanitarian situation in the besieged Gaza Strip and deepening the inter-Palestinian division.

In press remarks on Tuesday spokesman Qasem said that his Movement had already warned of forming a government away from the national consensus and representing the interests of the Fatah Movement.

He added that the government of Shtayyeh did not work on lifting the sanctions on Gaza and ignored national calls for ending them.

“Despite the repeated speech of the Shtayyeh government about dealing equally with the employees in the Gaza and the West Bank its practices have always been contrary to this speech” the spokesman said.
