IDF: Hamas Foiling Gaza-West Bank Trade
(Ynet News) Elior Levy - "Hamas presents Israel with severe obstacles in creating direct, vibrant commerce with the Palestinian Authority," Maj. Gen. Yoav Mordechai, the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), told the Palestinian media on Wednesday. "Israel wants to rebuild the Strip and improve the conditions of those who live there, but every action by Hamas against Israel leads to a response and a deterioration of the situation." Moreover, Hamas prevents the reconstruction by violently taking building supplies in order to rebuild its terror tunnels.
