Hamas took control of the office of the Palestine Investment Fund, an arm of the Palestinian Authority, in the Gaza Strip.
People acting under orders from Hamas have taken over the office and “confiscated some of its assets and properties,” the investment fund said in an e-mailed statement that condemned the action as illegal. The fund said it “won’t be responsible for any future measures, deals or agreements” signed by the Hamas-led administration in Gaza, which “doesn’t represent the PIF or its companies and properties.”
