(Worthy News) – Hamas and Fatah on Wednesday asked Egypt to postpone the transfer of responsibility for the Gaza Strip from Hamas to the Fatah-dominated Palestinian Authority.
Under an agreement signed by Hamas and Fatah in Cairo in mid-October, the PA is supposed to take full responsibility for Gaza by Friday. Hamas has controlled Gaza since ousting the PA in 2007 from the territory.
“Hamas and Fatah requested that the Egyptian brothers postpone the completion of the government’s take over of its responsibilities in the Strip…from December 1 to December 10,” Fayez Abu Eitah, a Gaza-based Fatah official, said, reading a joint Hamas-Fatah statement. “This is to complete the arrangements to guarantee the achievement of reconciliation.” [ Source: Jerusalem Post (Read More…) ]
