Youssef Rizqa, a political adviser to the Palestinian Prime Minister, said that Egypt is overseeing the current efforts to achieve reconciliation between Hamas and Fatah.


Rizqa told Alresalah.net that: “Egypt continues to be the sponsor of the internal reconciliation file,” and therefore “Egypt is supervising all the moves that take place in the Palestinian arena for restoring unity and ending the division.”

He noted that Hamas and the government in Gaza welcomed the visit made last week by a five-member delegation from the PLO to the Gaza Strip. The delegation discussed all issues related to reconciliation between the two main Palestinian factions.

Rizqa expressed his hope that the delegation’s visit is a positive indicator in the efforts to implement what was agreed upon in Cairo and Doha, and in line with an open agenda that deals with all issues.
