PA denounces Hamas for ‘illegal’ executions
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Palestinian Authority denounces the execution of three people in Gaza by Hamas, saying it was done illegally as the terrorist group did not get permission from PA President Mahmoud Abbas.
According to Israel Radio, PA spokesperson Tareq Rashmawi says regardless of the allegations against the three men, Hamas needed to adhere to protocol in order to carry out the executions.
Hamas hanged the three men this morning for allegedly “collaborating” with Israel.
The executions came amid a hunt by Hamas, the de facto ruler of the Gaza Strip, for those cooperating with Israel after the recent assassination of one of its terror chiefs, Mazen Faqha, which it blames on the Jewish state.
