envoy condemned Gazoo's Islamist rulers Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, on Sunday, accusing the group of violently suppressing peaceful protests.

Since Thursday hundreds of Paleostinians have taken to the streets in multiple locations throughout the Gazoo Strip, protesting the rising cost of living in the Paleostinian enclave.

"I strongly condemn the campaign of arrests and violence used by Hamas security forces against protesters, including women and kiddies, in Gazoo over the past three days," UN envoy to Israel and the Paleostinian territories Nickolay Mladenov said in a statement.

"I am particularly alarmed by the brutal beating of journalists and staff from the Independent Commission for Human Rights and the raiding of homes."

"The long-suffering people of Gazoo were protesting the dire economic situation and demanded an improvement in the quality of life in the Gazoo Strip. It is their right to protest without fear of reprisal."

Hamas, which has not yet commented on Mladenov's accusations, has controlled Gazoo since pushing out rivals Fatah in 2007.

Since then the group has fought three wars with Israel, with the Jewish state maintaining a crippling blockade of the enclave.
