ALBAWABA - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the Gaza Palestinian technocratic committee's logo was not the same one that was shown to Israel earlier.
Netanyahu's office said in a statement on Monday that the committee's decision to update its logo and add the Palestinian Authority's slogan is unacceptable.
"The logo of the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) presented to Israel was completely different from the one published this evening," Netanyahu’s office revealed.

The statement continued, "Israel will not accept the use of the Palestinian Authority’s symbol, and the PA will not be a partner in the administration of Gaza."
Yesterday, the NCAG updated its logo and abandoned its original one that was published by the committee last month, angering Tel Aviv.
According to The Times of Israel, the NCAG logo is the same as the one used by the Palestinian Authority, but with a minor difference; the new NCAG logo has a label at the bottom reading "NCAG," rather than the word "Palestine," which is used in the PA logo.
The original logo of the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) featured a Phoenix emerging from under the ashes.
