MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Israel would not grant permission to transport fuel to the Gaza Strip as there are concerns Palestinian group Hamas could steal it, Mark Regev, a senior adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said.
"The government decision is that fuel doesn't go in because it will be stolen by Hamas and it'll be used by them to power rockets that are fired into Israel to kill our people," Regev told US news broadcaster on Monday.
He added that a small amount of fuel was let in through the Rafah crossing on the Egypt-Gaza border but ended up stolen. Israel thinks that fuel was diverted to military causes.
