Hamas stole aid, but their Jihad fighters “should be the last to eat” – PA official
Tulkarem District Governor Abdallah Kmeil: "[Hamas] knows very well that many of their members are the ones who stole [the humanitarian aid], and what was the logic? Just like they said that the tunnels were meant for the Jihad fighters and what is above the tunnels – the Palestinian people who is above the tunnels – is the responsibility of the UN and UNRWA, so too the Jihad fighter should be full [of food]. This is wrong. The Jihad fighter should be the last to eat, the fighter should be the last to eat."
