| Thousands Of Gaza Security Workers Strike |
| 2014-11-05 |
| [IsraelTimes] About 20,000 civil servants in the Gazoo Strip went on strike Tuesday to protest the Paleostinian unity government's refusal to pay military and security employees of the Islamist terror movement Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,. All ministries and other institutions run by Hamas in Gazoo were shut and gated, except for schools, after the walkout by mostly administrative workers, an AFP correspondent said. Thousands of military and security workers caught up in a row between Paleostinian rival factions Hamas and Fatah in the war-ravaged territory have not been paid for several months. Hamas hired more than 40,000 people after it seized Gazoo in 2007 following deadly festivities with members of Fatah, the party of Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... But after a reconciliation deal with Abbas that led to the formation of a West Bank-based national unity government in June this year, Hamas relinquished responsibility for paying salaries. Hamas has technically handed power to the unity government but it remains in de facto control of Gazoo. Abbas's West Bank-based Paleostinian Authority initially refused to pay the workers, but on Wednesday about 24,000 civilian Hamas employees received their salary from the unity government. Roughly 16,000 more -- all holding jobs in the military and security services -- have still not been paid. Fatah and Hamas have recently sought to present a united front to the international community, which has pledged $5.4 billion to help reconstruct Gazoo after a devastating seven-week war with Israel. |
