Palestinian Authority Condemns Hamas Executions in Gaza
The Palestinian Authority has condemned extrajudicial killings by Hamas gunmen in Gaza, resulting in at least 32 deaths since Friday.
The Palestinian presidency has denounced the recent executions of Palestinians conducted by Hamas without fair trials.
These actions have been described as 'heinous crimes' that are entirely rejected under any circumstances.
The Palestinian Authority asserts that these extrajudicial killings represent a breach of human rights and undermine efforts to establish a unified, legitimate authority in Palestine.
They call for an end to such violations, protection for unarmed citizens, and accountability for those involved.
The condemnation from the Palestinian Authority comes amid Hamas's attempts to reassert its control over Gaza following the recent ceasefire agreement with Israel.
Critics argue that these actions provide pretexts for Israeli occupation, hinder reconstruction efforts, deepen divisions among Palestinians, and obstruct the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.
In response to increasing opposition and internal challenges, Hamas has sought to maintain its authority in Gaza since the implementation of the US-brokered truce, leading to the deaths of dozens of its opponents.
While the initial stages of the ceasefire may have allowed for a limited role for Hamas in policing Gaza, the 20-point US peace plan stipulates that Hamas must disarm and have no future governance role in Gaza.
