The Gaza Strip has been roiled by protests against the enclave’s high cost of living, as the population is driven to a breaking point by 12 years of Hamas’ authoritarian rule.
I condemn the Hamas violence in #Gaza against protesters, women, #children; journalists & human rights activists. #Palestinian factions must engage with Egypt on the basis of the the Cairo Agreement. #UN is working to avoid escalation, lift the closures, & support reconciliation After 12 years, the end result has been a youth unemployment rate of more than 70 per cent. A recent World Bank report said the enclave’s economy is in “free fall.”#gaza #israel #غزة pic.twitter.com/kFWkrLMaRq
In a widely circulated video reportedly taken from the centre of one of the Gaza protests, a Palestinian mother can be heard complaining that her children have “lost 12 years of their lives.” “Civilians affiliated with Hamas crept among the protestors and started attacking them and raising posters of Mahmoud Abbas written on them ‘Abbas, Leave’ in attempts to cause confusion,” reads a report by the International Middle East Media Centre.The Palestinian Authority, in turn, has called out the protests as symbols of the failure of Hamas rule.
An analysis by the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Centre, a think tank with close ties to the Israeli military, documented instances of Hamas-affiliated security forces using gunfire to break up the protests, as well as marshalling its own protests to “deflect attention.”
Doesn't Trudeau support Hamas?
This is so sad but not surprising. Hamas & the PLO want the Palestinian people to have no hope & blame it on Israel
It’s about time.
