No one should be allowed to use religious, racial sentiments to gain votes, popularity, says Sarawak church head in Easter messageCAIRO, April 1 — The Islamist group Hamas accused rivals with the Palestinian Authority of sending security officers into northern Gaza under cover of securing aid trucks, the Gaza Hamas-run interior ministry said.
It said six members of the force, who escorted aid trucks coming through the Rafah crossing with Egypt, were arrested and police forces were in pursuit to round up all other members.“The suspicious security force that entered yesterday with Egyptian Crescent trucks coordinated its operations entirely with the occupation forces,” the Hamas official said, without providing evidence. The Red Crescent is the Islamic equivalent of the Red Cross.
“The statement by the so-called Hamas interior ministry over the aid entry into Gaza Strip is incorrect,” a Palestinian Authority official in Ramallah, in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, said in a statement. The official, referring to the Israel-Hamas conflict, said the authority wasn’t interested in an exchange of media comments that would divert attention from “the suffering of our people in Gaza Strip, and the killing, starvation, and displacement they are living through.
Hamas seized control in Gaza in 2007, a year after sweeping elections, following a brief civil war with Palestinian Authority security forces, reducing the PA’s rule to the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Efforts to reconcile the two sides have so far failed over thorny power-sharing issues.
