Gaza Govt: Abbas’s remarks in Cairo confirms he is unfit to lead his people

The Gaza government has strongly condemned Abbas’s statement in Cairo, saying that it expresses hatred towards a large part of the Palestinian people.

In its press release issued on Tuesday, Gaza government stated that such statements confirm that Abbas is not fit to lead his people.

“People never realized how dangerous Hamas was until the Muslim Brotherhood fell in Egypt,” Abbas said during his visit to Cairo. He also instigated against Gaza tunnels which provide the besieged strip with its human basic needs.

On the other hand, the government renewed its call to form a Palestinian national inquiry commission on the assassination of Arafat and to prosecute the criminals.

The government confirmed its total rejection of the absurd negotiations with the Israeli authorities which “provides a cover to the continued and escalated crimes and settlement construction”.

Concerning Rafah crossing, the government called on Egyptian authorities to open the crossing permanently especially that hundreds of patients need to travel for treatment in Egypt, in addition to hundreds of students who need to travel to their universities abroad.

Following its weekly meeting, Gaza government called on international human rights organizations to intervene for the release of patient prisoners especially Dirar Abu Sisi, Naim Shawamra, and Mutassim Raddad whose health condition has dramatically deteriorated.

The government condemned the continued detention of 400 Palestinian refugees and 250 Palestinian children, who fled the ongoing conflict in Syria, in Egyptian prisons.

Gaza government stated that considerable efforts have been made to solve power crisis in the besieged strip, praising the ongoing Qatari and Turkish efforts in solving the crisis.
