United States State Department spokesman Tom Casey said Thursday evening that the US is “concerned” by Israel’s arrest of 33 senior members of Hamas overnight Thursday. His announcement was similar to that of United Nations representative Michael Williams.
While Hamas is a terrorist organization, Casey said, the arrest of Palestinian Authority Members of Parliament is always “a process arousing concern.” Several of the 33 detainees are MPs in the PA, and one is Nasser Al-Din Shaer, the PA Minister of Education.
