Member of Hamas’s political bureau Mousa Abu Marzouk has denied there is an agreement between his Movement and Fatah about convening or participating in the preparatory committee of the Palestinian National Council (PNC).
In an interview conducted by al-Ghad satellite channel on Friday Abu Marzouk said that he had asked Azzam al-Ahmed a senior Fatah official to send the invitation he claimed he had sent to Hamas in order to participate in the PNC preparatory committee adding that Hamas would study the invitation first and then respond to it.
“If there was an invitation to the preparatory committee of the National Council and we agreed on convening it outside the West Bank our response would be positive” he stated.
The Hamas official affirmed that his Movement would welcome the convening of the PNC in Cairo or anywhere else.
“If it was held in any place except in Ramallah which is under the occupation’s authority we would welcome that” he underlined.
