Europe says no Gaza reconstruction under Hamas [View All]

[oberliner]

A European official says she expects humanitarian aid will start flowing quickly to the war-ravaged Gaza Strip.

But she says buildings and infrastructure will not be rebuilt as long as the militant Hamas rules there.

The European Union classes Hamas as a terrorist organization and refuses to deal with it.

Israel waged a just-ended war against Hamas that destroyed vast swaths of Gaza.

The EU official, Benita Ferrero-Waldner, suggested on Monday that international help in rebuilding Gaza could come if the Fatah Party of moderate Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas returns to the territory.
