GAZA, Dec 17 (Reuters) - The governing Hamas movement on Sunday said the seizure of two of its ministries by forces loyal to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Gaza amounted to a "military coup".

Foreign Minister Mahmoud al-Zahar, also a senior Hamas leader, demanded Abbas's forces leave the agriculture and transport ministries or said they would be arrested and disarmed.
