Hamas will take decisive political actions in the Gaza Strip if Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas introduces ministerial amendments to the unity government formed last year, close sources revealed.

The unnamed sources told Quds Press that Hamas will not recognise any ministerial amendments to the unity government introduced by Abbas, explaining that in this case “Hamas will be obliged to take firm and decisive action to ensure stability in Gaza Strip administratively and politically”.

The Palestinian news agency reported earlier that Abbas commissioned Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah to conduct “ministerial amendments to the national unity government to help it carry out its national responsibilities in all Palestinian regions.”

Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri rejected Abbas’s decision calling it “a coup against the reconciliation agreement”.
