Nabil Shaath to IMRA: PA will take complete responsibility for Gaza - denies
rockets are there
Dr. Aaron Lerner Date: 6 February 2012

In a telephone conversation today held several hours after announcement of
the agreement to form a Hamas-Fatah government, senior Palestinian Official
Nabil Sha’ath told IMRA that the unity government will take complete
responsibility for the management of the Gaza Strip and West Bank and not
just preparations for the elections.

IMRA asked Sha'ath if that responsibility included responsibility for
security matters and Sha'ath responded that it would be responsible for all
matters.

IMRA asked Sha'ath if the unity government would be responsible for the
thousands of rockets and missiles now deployed in the Gaza Strip.

Sha'ath replied: "What missiles? This is propaganda. What about all the
Israeli missiles?"

IMRA noted that Hamas is proud of the missiles they possess and that they
have released video clips of launchings.

Sha'ath ended the conversation.
