Gaza becoming ‘ripe’ for terror, Hamas official says
A Hamas official warns that the Gaza Strip could become a breeding ground for extremism unless reconstruction of the coastal enclave is accelerated.
“Our message to the world, which is scared of terrorism and extremism, is that the delay in rebuilding Gaza and the continuing blockade against it will make it a ripe environment for the spread of extremism and terrorism,” Khalil al-Haya tells a Gaza City meeting of MPs of Islamist movement Hamas.
“We warn of the consequences,” he said, without elaborating.
