Zaher al-Shashtri senior official of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) has hailed the Hamas Movement for dissolving its administrative committee in the Gaza Strip as a prelude to enabling the Ramallah-based government to assume its responsibilities.
In press remarks on Sunday Shashtri described the decision that was taken by Hamas in this regard as “an important step in the right direction” calling for working immediately on honoring the previous reconciliation agreements especially the one signed in Cairo in 2011.
The PFLP official urged Palestinian Authority chief Mahmoud Abbas to end all measures he had taken in recent months against Gaza and launch a comprehensive national dialog to develop mechanisms agreed upon to heal the rift in the Palestinian arena and rearrange the Palestinian house.
He also stressed the need for agreeing on dates to hold legislative and presidential elections and rebuilding the Palestine Liberation Orgnization (PLO) in accordance with the 2005 Cairo agreement.
