Sources in the Prime Minister's Office responded to the boycotted meeting with the Prime Minister and Finance Minister by Gaza area council heads.
"The heads of the municipalities have now met with the Prime Minister and the Finance Minister, and whoever absented himself from the meeting did so on a clearly political motive. It's strange that they say you don't hear them and when you come to hear them they leave. It should be noted that the list of invitees was prepared by the Prime Minister's Office and not by any political factor."
