Hamas on Wednesday banned the distribution of three Palestinian newspapers in the Gaza Strip.
The decision came hours after Israel decided to allow the three newspapers, which are published in Jerusalem and Ramallah, to enter the Strip.
The newspapers stopped distributing in Gaza after the closure of the border crossings following Hamas’s violent takeover of the area three years ago.
However, the Israeli government recently decided to allow the three newspapers – Al-Quds, Al-Ayyam and Al-Hayat al-Jadida – to reach the Gaza Strip once again."
