Gaza, MINA – Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem said that accelerating the entry of the national committee tasked with administering the Gaza Strip and enabling it to begin its work was a central topic of recent discussions in Cairo, the Palestine Information Center reports.
In a press statement on Wednesday, Qassem said the Movement has reaffirmed its full readiness to hand over all governing responsibilities in Gaza to the national committee, including the security portfolio, and to provide all possible support to ensure the mission’s success.
He added that the committee’s continued inability to enter Gaza, despite having been formed months ago, raises serious questions. Qassem said, “It is unreasonable that the Peace Council has been unable to facilitate the committee’s entry for all this time,” arguing that the issue has effectively become subject to Israeli positions.
Qassem expressed hope that mediators’ efforts would soon succeed in enabling the national committee to enter the Gaza Strip, allowing it to begin organizing internal affairs and launching a genuine relief effort to help ease the suffering of residents.[]
