Abu Zuhri: demolishing tunnels threatens humanitarian situation in Gaza

Abu Zuhri

Gaza- Hamas movement stressed its rejection to the demolition of tunnels before providing the alternative to the people of the Gaza Strip.

Sami Abu Zuhri, the movement’s spokesman, told Quds Press that the Egyptian claim about ending the issue of tunnels on the border with Gaza to ensure national security represents “an unconvincing justification”.

He stressed that his movement “rejects the demolition of the tunnels before providing an alternative”, warning that such a move would lead to a major humanitarian disaster in the Gaza Strip.

He added: “We consider that the destruction of the tunnels in such a way means that Egypt, under the current authorities, has abandoned its national role towards the Palestinian cause.”

Hamas’s spokesman also confirmed that the statements by some Egyptian sources about the arrest of dozens of Hamas affiliates in Egyptian prisons are unfounded allegations.

He said: “These parties cannot prove that any Hamas member is involved in the Egyptian arena”, adding that such fabrications form continuation of the attempts to incite against the Palestinian resistance
