GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said Wednesday that the reason his party suspended electoral preparation in the Gaza Strip, effectively calling a halt to reconciliation with their Fatah rivals, was as a direct response to political repression in the West Bank.
Addressing a rally against political arrests by students in Gaza City, Abu Zuhri said recent events in Hebron University were the last straw in a string of events persuading Hamas to call off election groundwork.
Around 10 students are holding a sit-in in the southern West Bank university, and several of them have been on hunger strike for a week, a Ma'an correspondent said. They are protesting the detention of Hamas members by the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority. more
