The Palestinian Authority (PA) does not yet control more than 5% of Gaza, despite the reconciliation agreement with Hamas which stipulates that it must have full control of Gaza by December 1, a senior PA official said Sunday.
“We are like a child that is crawling on this issue of empowering the government. We have not surpassed 5% on the issue of empowering the government,” said Hussein al-Sheikh, the PA official in charge of civil affairs.
