The Palestinian Hamas movement has warned against delaying the lifting of Israeli siege on the Gaza Strip, saying that "Gaza is about to run out of patience."
In a statement on Tuesday, Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri called on the international community to intervene and pressure Israel to end Gaza blockade.
The spokesman also described Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon’s statement about not allowing the reconstruction of Gaza if Hamas rebuilt its tunnels as "blackmailing"
"The truce agreement had nothing to do with resistance arms," he said.
He added that the statement indicated that Israel was deliberately delaying the lift of the siege.
