Obeid: PA receives revenues but not committed to send fuel for Gaza power plant

GAZA, (PIC)-- Deputy head of the Palestinian energy authority Kanaan Obeid said the Ramallah government of the Palestinian Authority (PA) is not committed at all to providing the Gaza power station with its needs of industrial diesel, although the electricity company did not stop to send revenues to Ramallah.

In a press statement to the Palestinian information center (PIC), Obeid added that the PA ministry of finance in Ramallah did not respect the Gaza people or feel pity for high school students who are studying for final exams.

He called for pressuring the PA ministry of finance to stop its injustice against the Gaza people and pay for the fuel shipments used to operate the electric generators in Gaza.

In separate incidents, Mahmoud Abbas's security militias kidnapped nine Palestinian citizens affiliated with Hamas in the West Bank cities of Al-Khalil, Nablus and Qalqiliya on Friday and Saturday in the context of the frenzied arrest campaign launched following the heroic operation of Al-Khalil which led to the death of one Israeli soldier.

Palestinian local sources also reported that Abbas's militias stormed a number of neighborhoods in the town of Dura and kidnapped many Hamas-affiliated Palestinian citizens, who were ex-detainees in West Bank and Israeli jails.

The sources said that the arrest campaign took place after a meeting held Friday afternoon between Abbas's militias and Israeli officers at the coordination headquarters.
