Hamdallah returns to Ramallah, says attack was ‘well prepared’
The official PA news agency Wafa says PA Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah has returned to Ramallah after surviving an assassination attempt directed at his motorcade in the Gaza Strip earlier today.
Hamdallah reportedly says the attack was “well prepared and the bomb was buried two meters into the ground,” according to Wafa.
He calls the attack “a cowardly act that doesn’t represent the Palestinian unity and neither the Palestinian people.”
Seven of his bodyguards are injured, he says, and are all being treated in Ramallah.
“This attack will not prevent us from completing our work in Gaza and achieving national reconciliation,” he says.
