Member of Hamas’s political bureau Mahmoud al-Zahhar has said that a high-level delegation from the Movement led by Ismail Haneyya deputy chief of the political bureau are holding meetings nowadays with Egyptian officials to discuss mutual relations.
Zahhar made his remarks in a symposium held in Gaza on “The future of the inter-Palestinian relations following the Beirut and Moscow meetings.”
The Hamas official affirmed that his Movement’s relations with Egypt started to see an improvement pointing to Egypt’s need for economic exchange with Gaza.
He expressed hope that the meetings between Hamas and Egyptian officials would culminate in success.
Zahhar also noted that there were previous understandings between his Movement and Egypt on certain mechanisms to control the border areas but Hamas refused to accept some points that would not serve the resistance.
He also talked about different issues including the security cooperation between the Palestinian Authority and Israel which he condemned as a “crime against Palestine and the Palestinian people’s sacrifices.”
