www.chinaview.cn: Hamas rejects pro-Fatah general strikes as plot to isolate Gaza
GAZA, Aug. 31 (Xinhua) — Palestinian Islamic Hamas Movement on Sunday rejected general strikes in health and education sectors as a plot to announce the Hamas-controlled Gaza a rebel region.
The strikes precede a plan by the Fatah-dominated Palestinian National Authority (PNA) to declare Gaza a rebel region in preparation for holding early elections, “setting up a divided entity according to the American vision,” Hamas lawmaker Ismail al-Ashqar told the press.
The teacher union and the health workers union have called on their members and supporters to go on a general strike in the Gaza Strip. The teachers who are loyal to PNA President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah movement abided by the strike.
