PA: Fatah-Hamas tension not behind Gaza power plant closure

[Jefferson23]

BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- A Palestinian Authority official on Saturday denied Israeli claims that lack of fuel in Gaza was due to tension between Fatah and Hamas.

Nathmi Muhanna, PA director of border crossings, said in a statement that neither financial or political disputes with Hamas were behind the fuel shortage in Gaza.

"It's all because Israel has shut down the Kerem Shalom crossing, and if they decide to open it tomorrow, fuel will be shipped into the Gaza Strip," Muhanna said.

He said Israel has stopped a shipment of fuel into the Gaza Strip through the crossing, and that for solely that reason Gaza's power plant is out of commission.
