Sanctions imposed by the Palestinian Authority on two million Palestinians in Gaza Strip pave the way for implementation of “deal of the century,” Hamas’ leader Sami abu-Zuhri said.

On Twitter, Abu-Zuhri wrote: “The Great March of Return started on March 30 in response to the so-called “deal of the century” which aims to liquidate the Palestinian cause.

Hamas leader criticised the Palestinian Authority for imposing punitive measures on Gaza while continuing its security collaboration with the Israeli occupation.
