The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP), a left-wing Palestinian party, called on Hamas-run security forces to stop using force against peaceful and civil protest that calls for improving the hard living situation.
Rabah Muhana, a senior leader in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), another Palestinian left-wing party, said in a statement that the Palestinian factions should convene immediately to discuss the situation.
"Hamas should apologize to the Palestinian public for its security forces' behavior that only brings shame and it should stop all measures that were taken against the peaceful demonstrators," he said.
The demonstrations were organized by a new Palestinian group called the Popular Movement "We Want to Live," which comprises university students and social media activists.
The group called for a general strike on Saturday all over the Gaza Strip to condemn the Hamas police attack on the demonstrators, journalists and right activists.
It said in a press statement that the demands are to stop imposing taxes on products of food, cigarettes and clothes, as "the taxes are exhausting the poor citizens who suffer from poverty and unemployment."
A few days ago, human rights groups in the Gaza Strip accused the Hamas security services of arresting 12 Palestinian activists from northern Gaza.
Israel has imposed a tight blockade on the Gaza Strip, home to more than 2 million Palestinians since mid-2007, after Hamas forcibly seized control of the enclave from Abbas' security forces.
