Hazem Qassem, a spokesman of the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas, said that the Office of Financial and Administrative Oversight report that revealed the extent of corruption in the institutions of the Palestinian Authority and the government in Ramallah confirms the need for a serious corruption investigation addressed in the report and bringing the corrupt to justice.

"Besides the political corruption represented in security coordination with the occupation, the revealed report confirms once again that a group in the authority's leadership controls the capabilities of our Palestinian people and robs the public money for their personal use," Qassem added.

"The report, which exposes blatant injustice against the poor classes of our people that are subjected to the robbery by the PA, weakens our internal front in facing the occupation projects and worsens the Palestinian image," he stressed.
