GAZA (PIC)– The Hamas Movement has denied receiving any message from the Egyptian general intelligence on Monday calling for dialog or bilateral talks with Egypt on internal Palestinian issues.

Ayman Taha one of the Hamas political leaders in Gaza Strip told PIC on Monday evening “We did not receive any invitation for dialog” but explained that his Movement had previously received a number of questions on goals of the dialog and issues to be discussed in it.

Taha said that Hamas replied to the questions and its deputy political bureau chairman Dr. Mousa Abu Marzouk handed them to the Egyptians during his recent visit to Cairo.

Press reports had said that Egypt on Monday delivered messages to Palestinian factions inviting them to start bilateral talks with Egypt on internal Palestinian dialog in addition to asking for their views regarding that dialog.
