PA launches campaign to remove Hamas graffiti in Gaza

[drdon326]

The Palestinian Authority on Sunday began a campaign to remove Hamas graffiti and flags from the streets of Gaza City in a move that has been condemned by Hamas leaders as "provocative."

Eyewitnesses said PA policemen removed several Hamas banners and flags from phone and electricity poles and wiped out graffiti sprayed on the walls by Hamas members.

The campaign, ordered by PA Interior Minister Nasser Youssef, came as Egyptian security officials met separately in Gaza City with PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas and Hamas leaders in an attempt to resolve differences between the two sides. The Egyptian team is headed by Gen. Mustafa Buhairi, deputy head of the Egyptian Intelligence Force.

Two Palestinians were killed and about 30 injured in clashes between Hamas gunmen and PA policemen on Thursday and Friday. The confrontation, the worst since Abbas was elected as chairman of the PA earlier this year, erupted when the PA security forces opened fire at a Hamas squad that was firing rockets at Israel from the northern Gaza Strip.

"It's clear that the Palestinian Authority is trying to provoke Hamas by removing banners and flags from the streets," said Hamas spokesman Mushir al Masri. "Why isn't the Palestinian Authority doing anything against the thugs who are roaming our streets?"
