| [ELUNIVERSAL] The Islamist movement Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, took control on Sunday, from the Paleostinian side of the only border crossing of goods between the Gazoo Strip and Israel , announced the Interior Ministry of the enclave and the Paleostinian press agency Wafa. According to Wafa, the Paleostinian Authority announced that Hamas "has expelled employees of the Paleostinian Authority in Kerem Abu Salem and has prohibited them from entering the crossing point," AFP quoted. Hamas confirmed that the employees of the Paleostinian Authority had left the crossing point. "The security forces at the Kerem Abu Salem crossing point have implemented procedures dictated by security imperatives," Interior Ministry front man Iyad al Bozum said in a statement. "The employees of the Paleostinian Authority at the crossing have refused to cooperate in these proceedings for a few days and today we were surprised by their departure," he said. Since expelling Fatah from the Gazoo Strip in 2007, Hamas has been controlling this enclave without opposition and, in 2017, in an attempt to reconcile the Islamist group agreed to hand over control of crossing points to the Paleostinian Authority. |
