UN coordinator statements on cement in Gaza reveals Israeli lies

Hamas has asserted that recent statements by United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator Robert Piper that there is no proof on using construction materials for military purposes in Gaza proved Israel's lies.

Israel has always alleged that construction materials are used for military purposes in Gaza to justify its siege on Gaza, Hamas said in a press release on Monday.

Hamas urged the UN to shoulder its legal and humanitarian responsibility to halt the criminal policy of the Israeli occupation against Gaza, lift the blockade, and allow freedom of individual and goods movement.

Israel decided on April 3 to ban cement access to the Gaza Strip projects over allegations that Hamas is using cement for military purposes.
