Hamas calls Israel’s decision to cut off Gaza's electricity supply ‘blackmailing’

Gaza: After stopping aid to Gaza last week, Israel has now decided to cut off electricity to war-torn Gaza.

According to a foreign news agency, the announcement of the electricity cut-off to Gaza was made by Israeli Energy Minister Eli Cohen.

Hamas, calling the Israeli move blackmail, said that Israel’s decision to cut off electricity to Gaza is unacceptable and that Israel is doing this to pressure the release of hostages.

On the other hand, an Israeli delegation will travel to the Qatari capital Doha today to negotiate the second phase of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza.

In this regard, US Ambassador Adam Boehler said that the US understands Israel’s concerns over the Hamas talks, but this will be an agreement under which not only Americans but all Israelis will be able to be free.
