Gush Katif lands to be divided among Hamas officials

Hamas announces that it will distribute land in the Gaza Strip to officials as compensation for the nearly two years in which many government employees received only partial salary payments.

Most of the land set to be handed out are in the area of Gush Katif settlements, which were evacuated by Israel in 2005 during the unilateral pullout from the Strip.

The Fatah party criticizes the move and says the decision is both dangerous and illegal, and symbolizes the Hamas government’s corruption.
