Fatah condemns Hamas for arresting its members in Gaza

Fatah in the Gaza Strip is condemning Hamas for placing a number of Fatah members under house arrest across the Gaza Strip since the start of Operation Protective Edge.

According to the PA’s official WAFA news agency, Fatah appealed to Hamas to stop arresting its members, and was told the detentions were carried out by individuals and was not official Hamas policy. The house arrests continued.

Fatah calls on Hamas in a communique to stop harassing its members in Gaza, saying “at the moment what we need most is national solidarity to strengthen the home front.”
