MK Issawi Frej confirmed that cutting off electricity from the Gaza Strip by the Israeli government and keeping around 2 million Palestinians hostage because of a political disagreement is a crime against humanity.

“The Gazans’ suffering can not be exploited for political or motor extortion,” he said.

He added: “The situation in Gaza is explosive and the augmentation of suffering by cutting off electricity will not benefit neither the Palestinians nor the Israelis.”

Frej also said: “The regional situation and Trump’s visit to the region has paved the way for cutting off electricity from Gaza. Otherwise, how can we explain this step now?”
