The Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas which rules Gaza condemned Egypt’s bloody crackdown Wednesday on supporters of ousted president Mohamed Morsi as a “terrible massacre.”

“Hamas condemns the terrible massacre in Nahda square and at Rabaa al-Adawiyya, and we call for an end to the bloodshed and to excesses against peaceful demonstrators,” its spokesperson Sami Abu Zuhri told AFP. The deputy head of the Hamas government, Ziad al-Zaza, told Gaza’s Al-Rai news agency that “the government expresses its great concern over the events taking place in Egypt.”
