GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Palestinian Labor Minister Mamoun Abu Shahla told Al-Monitor that Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah informed donor countries that aid shall only be delivered to the Gaza Strip via the legitimate government.
“Hamdallah made this demand during his encounter with all of the donor countries’ ambassadors to the Palestinian territories whom he summoned to his Ramallah office a few days ago. He assured them that his government is the only government for Palestinians and that it is its task to make optimal investment and distribution of assistance to social segments,” he added.
