| De facto government opens police academy | |
| 2009-10-19 | |
| Ma'an -- The de facto government's interior minister Fathi Hammad on Saturday inaugurated a new police academy affiliated to the ministry that will train Gaza security services officers. The academy will start with 188 students, the minister announced. "This academy has become an urgent need in light of the refusal of Arab countries to train Gazan students in their private academies," he said in opening remarks. "All Arab countries accept students from the West Bank in their academies, and refuse students from the Gaza Strip." "We decided we would not remain hand-folded, but we would rather start from scratch as we did with jihad, the Legislative Council, in government, and by facing the siege," Hammad explained.
