Hamas: Cairo-brokered reconciliation talks welcome

Tuesday 12-September-2017

Hamas said on Monday evening it welcomes any initiative to boost reconciliation talks under Egyptian mediation.

Hamas said it is ready to immediately join Cairo-based talk rounds to dissolve the administrative committee and to hold national elections.

The Movement stressed the need for all Palestinian factions to gather in Cairo for a new government lineup that serves all Palestinians in the West Bank Gaza and Occupied Jerusalem no matter their partisan affiliations.

Hamas added that Egypt’s security is “sacred” and that any attempt to harm Egyptians’ safety is just “intolerable.”

The comments came during a meeting between a Hamas delegation led by the group’s political bureau head Ismail Haneyya and the Egyptian intelligence chief.
