  • UK govt urges Israel to lift Gaza electricity 'restrictions'

RAMALLAH: The Palestinian Authority on Monday said Israel’s decision to halt the electricity supply to Gaza was “an escalation in the genocide” in the war-ravaged territory.

The Palestinian foreign ministry said in a statement that it “strongly condemns the Israeli Ministry of Energy's decision to cut electricity to the Gaza Strip, considering it an escalation in the genocide, displacement and humanitarian disaster in Gaza”, which is controlled by Hamas and not the Ramallah-based Palestinian Authority.

Th British government also urged Israel to lift the Gaza electricity “restrictions”
