Ma'an – The office of Palestinian Information Minister Riyad Al-Maliki accused Hamas of looting the information ministry's offices in Gaza City on Tuesday.
In a statement to the media, the Information Ministry said: "Months ago, those militias robbed all the offices, chairs and equipment, and today they complete the task by looting the rest of the ministry's properties especially the archives."
Hamas took defeated the security forces of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah faction in the Gaza Strip in mid June, and now controls all of the Palestinian Authority ministries there. Abbas dismissed Hamas from the Palestinian government following the takeover. Hamas has repeatedly offered to turn over control of government ministries in exchange for being included in a new government of national unity. |
