[IsraelTimes]. Furious Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, charges unity being ruined by stalled rehabilitation, tells Abbas it will not await your mercy
Following a rare government meeting in Gazoo Tuesday, the government of Rami Hamdallah said Wednesday that PA civil servants who had left their positions as a result of Hamass violent takeover of the Gazoo Strip in June 2007 must be allowed to resume their posts, a move that would effectively put Hamas appointees out of business. Hamdallah pledged to compensate the Hamas appointees through microfinancing for small businesses and donor state loans, on top of retirement packages. No one will be wronged, and no state employee will be left without the ability to obtain reasonable income, he was quoted by official WAFA news agency as saying. European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... auditors called in December 2013 for the de-funding of thousands of PA employees who were told by Ramallah to stay home ever since Hamass takeover more than seven years ago but have nevertheless continued to receive government salaries. Last June, Hamas physically blocked these employees from entering Gazoos banks, as a financial pitfall left Hamas employees without income. The government indicated that it would not be able to push forward Gazoos reconstruction without full presence in the Strips border crossings, hinting that international funding had stalled due to Hamass insistence on remaining there. If the government were to receive the crossings unchallenged, it could impose its control and take responsibility for the reconstruction. This would encourage donor states to fulfill their pledges made in the Cairo reconstruction conference, the statement read. An incredulous Hamas attacked the government statement, claiming that the unity government had pledged at the meeting to solve all of Gazoos problems within four weeks. Moussa Abu Marzouk, deputy head of Hamass political bureau, published a protocol of his meeting with Labor Minister Mamoun Abu Shahla, according to which Hamdallah promised to solve the pending issue of conflict between Hamas and Fatah and grant job security to all civil servants without exception. There is no justification for the existence of the government or [Mahmoud] Abbas [as PA president] if they continue dragging their feet vis-a-vis the people and its feelings, Gazoo-based Hamas official Salah Bardawil told Hamas daily Al-Resalah Thursday. Addressing Abbas, he added: Hamas will not await your mercy whenever you choose to bestow it. If you have decided to forsake [Gazoo], we will do whatever we can to avoid the impending disaster, which you wish for. | |
