| Egypt-Based Hamas Official in Gaza to Meet PLO Rivals |
| 2014-04-22 |
| [An Nahar] A senior Cairo-based Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, official crossed Monday from Egypt into the Gazoo Strip ahead of a new attempt to reconcile the turban Islamist movement and its Paleostine Liberation Organisation rivals. Mussa Abu Marzuq, head of external affairs in the movement's political office, was seen entering the Hamas-ruled coastal strip through the Rafah frontier crossing. A delegation of the Paleostine Liberation Organisation, which is headed by Paleostinian president the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... and dominated by his Fatah movement, is to go to Gazoo from the West Bank on Tuesday for talks with Hamas, members said. Independent Paleostinian MP Mustafa Barghuti told Agence La Belle France Presse that his fellow delegates were Fatah's Azzam al-Ahmad, Bassam al-Salhi of the socialist Paleostine People's Party, businessman Munib al-Masri and Arab Paleostinian Front leader Jamil Shehadeh. Barghuti said the sides would discuss "forming a national consensus government and holding elections," among other issues. Hamas's Gazoo interior ministry said 10 Fatah members imprisoned for "breaches of public order" were freed on Monday "as a goodwill gesture to support national reconciliation efforts". |
