The spokesperson of the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, Fawzi Barhoum has stated the following:

The ongoing incitement against Gaza provoked by Rami Al-Hamdallah's government, his refusal to pay Gaza's electricity bill, and aborting a third Palestinian Intifada are all signs of his government’s deviation from its requirements and duties. This also reflects the collaboration between the Palestinian Authority and the Israeli Occupation in tightening Gaza's unjust blockade. This government is not trustworthy in maintaining Palestinian people's rights.
