[Ynet] Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, wants to ban the sale of Israeli SIM cards in Gazoo amid fears that they pose a security risk and that they undercut local providers; Paleostinians use Israeli SIMs to save money and access internet content that is deemed 'unacceptable.'
| Israeli security sources say Israel has long been able to eavesdrop on any conversations in the Paleostinian territories, whatever the network, especially among suspected bad boys. |
Hamas-run authorities in Gazoo are trying to stop the sale and distribution of pre-paid SIM cards from Israeli cellular providers, arguing the cards pose economic and security risks and allow users to access "immoral" content.
Officials from the Paleostinian telecommunications and interior ministries, which are overseen by Hamas, said there have always been restrictions on the use of Israeli SIMs in the territory, but now they are determined to stamp them out entirely. |
