Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry says there must be accountability for how Hamas acquired so much power, funding in Gaza to increase the rift with other 'peace loving Palestinian factions'

Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry said that Hamas was outside the Palestinian consensus, in a press conference at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday.

"There must be accountability for how Hamas acquired so much power in Gaza and why it was funded to increase the rift with other peace loving Palestinian factions," Shouky said in response to a question posed by former Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni.
