国际英语资讯:Palestinian consensus government takes over in Gaza

A high-ranking Egyptian security intelligence delegation and a United Nations delegation are in Gaza to receive Hamdallah and his government and also to observe handing over the ministries, which were run by Hamas for more than ten years, to Hamdallah's government.

"We are back again to Gaza in order to achieve reconciliation and unity and end of internal division. We came to build up on this historic moment and the Palestinian factions biased to national reconciliation," Hamdallah told a new briefing at the crossing before getting into Gaza.

Hamdallah went on saying that "We are certain that the only road that would take us to our national goal is the road of unity and turning the page of division."

Ibrahim Salem, 28 years old unemployed from Gaza, who waited for the delegation at Erez crossing said: "I came here to receive Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah and the government. I want to tell them that ten years of internal division are enough. We suffered a lot in our life and it is time to end this division, unite and live a life with dignity."

Abdul Rahman Abu Namoos, 32-year-old former security officer said "I think it is a historic day today for the Palestinians. I feel so happy today because it will be a first step towards unity and towards ending our suffering."

"I hope they will succeed in achieving a full unity, end the suffering in Gaza, lift the blockade, open the crossings and find jobs for tens of thousands of unemployed people here," he said.
