(Ma'an) -- The row over a Fatah delegation that said it was denied entry to Gazoo continued Saturday as Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, said delegate Sakher Bseso may face prosecution for blasphemy.
Four Fatah officials tried to enter the Gazoo Strip on Friday for reconciliation talks, but said they were refused entry by Hamas border guards. The group said they waited for 45 minutes at the Erez crossing before giving up and returning to the West Bank.
The ministry said Fatah delegate Sakher Bseso "cursed God" and insulted the officers. On Saturday it announced that "certain officials" had started legal proceedings against Bseso for blasphemy.
"Bseso should be ready to stand in a court and be judged," the ministry said in a statement.
