Fatah: Hamas bans Abbas support festival in Gaza
GAZA CITY (Ma'an) --
The Gaza Ministry of Interior has banned a Fatah festival in support of President Mahmoud Abbas, a Fatah official said Sunday.
Fatah Central Committee Member Amal Hamad said that Hamas' decision to ban the festival -- which was to take place in Gaza City's Square of the Unknown Soldier --- was damaging to the Palestinian cause.
Hamad said the ban weakened negotiations, which she said were a form of resistance.
"It is time for Hamas to side with the Palestinian people ... who defend their rights and hold on to their national principles," she said.
