Hamas says seaport will free it from dependence on Israel, Egypt

Hamas MP and spokesman Mushir al-Masri says the Gaza Strip no longer wishes to be dependent upon Israeli or Egyptian border crossings, and for this reason has demanded the right to construct a seaport to enable the passage of people and goods, Israel Radio reports.

Speaking on Hamas-affiliated al-Quds TV, al-Masri calls on the Palestinian delegation to Egypt not to give in before all of its demands are met.
