L.A. Times: Israel approves Palestinian move to pressure Hamas with electricity cuts
Israel has approved a request by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to cut by roughly a third the electricity it provides to the Gaza Strip.
The move is aimed at undermining the Islamic militant group Hamas, which has controlled Gaza for the last decade.
But the decision reached Sunday by Israel’s security Cabinet is stoking concern that it could trigger a humanitarian crisis among Gaza’s 2 million Palestinians and a new round of fighting between Hamas and Israel.
In a statement on Monday afternoon responding to news of the Israeli decision, Hamas said that power cuts are “dangerous” and would lead to an “explosion.”

Good Fireworks.
You mean a implode one ok
I'm tired of all the skullduggery, jockeying and other stuff. Just bring it out in the open
Hamas will not implode without at least an attempt to drag Israel in or inflict damage on Israel.
If the Hamas alpha males/apes do not want to die, they will cut a deal with Egypt. We'll see how much they cherish the ephemeral.
