GAZA, (PIC)-- Hundreds of Palestinian citizens on Monday evening participated in a sit-in organized by Hamas Movement near Salahuddin terminal on the Palestinian-Egyptian borders in protest at the building of a steel wall on Gaza borders.
Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said at a news conference held during the sit-in that the building of this wall would have dangerous repercussions on Gaza and the whole Palestinian arena and would lead to further suffocation of Gaza people.
The spokesman called on the Arab countries to break their silence and shoulder their responsibilities for breaking the blockade on Gaza.
He also urged the Egyptian parliament, political parties and national figures to condemn the building of this wall and stand in the face of the policy of strangulation perused against Gaza people.
In a press release, the Movement of Hamas called on Monday for refraining from building the steel wall on Gaza borders, warning that this wall would lead to devastating disasters in Gaza.
Hamas refused Egypt’s justifications that this wall is an internal affair, saying the religious, moral and humanitarian considerations do not allow an Arab country to strangulate a Muslim Arab people in this way.
Hamas also deplored Mahmoud Abbas for expressing his approval for the building of this wall, saying that such a position further vindicates Abbas’s involvement in the blockade on Gaza and his hostility to its people.
