Hamas Seizing Fuel, Creating False Gas Crisis -Barak Ravid & Avi Issacharoff
Hamas seizes half the fuel Israel sends to Gaza and uses it for its military vehicles, Israeli and PA officials said Thursday.
Israeli sources said Hamas was preventing gasoline from reaching Gaza gas stations. "Hamas is trying to create a false fuel crisis in Gaza," a senior government source said. "They want to create long lines for gas and a feeling that Israel is tightening the siege on Gaza, although this is not the case," he said.

Capturing the MidEast in short soundbites: poignant reflections by people who understand the complexities of the Middle East. My philosophy is: "less is more." You won't agree with everything that's here, but I'm confident you will find it interesting! Excepting the titles, my own comments are minimal. Instead I rely on news sources to string together what I hope is an interesting, politically challenging, non-partisan, non-ideological narrative.
