PFLP raps PA for not ending sanctions on Gaza

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) has criticized the reluctance of the Palestinian Authority (PA) leadership to end it sanctions on the Gaza Strip, saying such attitude reflects the absence of a political will to achieve the national reconciliation.

In a press release on Thursday, senior PFLP official Iyad Awadallah said that the final statement that was issued by the participants in the Cairo national talks was “disappointing and not up to the current challenges, and did not reflect the enormity of the humanitarian suffering of the population in Gaza.”

Awadallah stressed the need for not making the national reconciliation subject to foreign and international pressures and conditions, or placing obstacles in its way, warning that the situation might get back to square one if it was not redressed quickly, according to PIC.
