PM Fayyad Says Hamas Rule in Gaza doesn't Terminate PNA Dominance
RAMALLAH, February 3, 2008 (WAFA) – Prime Minister Salam Fayyad said on Sunday Hamas' control on Gaza Strip since last June doesn't terminate the reign of the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) on the coastal strip.
In an interview with the Dubai-based al-Arabiya satellite channel, Fayyad said the Hamas-run Gaza Strip and the West Bank were "politically and geographically united territories despite Hamas' coup against the legitimacy."
PM Fayyad explained that his government has spent 58 percent of its budget on Gaza Strip "to ease the life of the people and enhance their living conditions."
He implicitly slammed Hamas for refusing his plan of reopening Gaza Strip crossings, saying that blocking the Palestinian efforts to manage Gaza crossings is a big sin.
