Hamas warns PA of ‘catastrophic’ consequences over Gaza power cuts

Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum accuses Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas of siding with Israel in trying to punish Hamas by halting electricity payments in the power-starved Gaza Strip.

“Today, Abbas put himself in a confrontation with the Palestinian people,” Barhoum says. “Its consequences will be catastrophic and disastrous, not only for Hamas, as they think, but for all Gazans.”
