Hamas, PA each claim the OTHER one is running Gaza security

The farce of "unity" continues....
A Hamas spokesman on Saturday said that Gaza's security services are not under the control of Hamas, but the Palestinian national consensus government.

Sami Abu Zuhri said in a statement that "Hamas has no relation to Gaza's security services -- (Prime Minister Rami) Hamdallah is the Minister of Internal Affairs and he should do his job."

Abu Zuhri called on Hamdallah to "stop avoiding his responsibilities."

Hamdallah had said Friday that Hamas was "the actual security authority in Gaza" and that the unity government could not work in Gaza given the "nervous security conditions there," referring to recent mysterious bombings targeting Fatah members in the Strip.
The Gaza Interior Ministry webpage, even though it has PA logos, is clearly still run by Hamas as its articles all mirror Hamas positions.
