Head of Hamas political bureau Khaled Meshaal said that both Fatah and Hamas have “genuine will” to move forward in a new phase of unity and forget the era of divisions which lasted for seven years.


Speaking to Al-Jazeera, Meshaal said that the “common obsession” for the Palestinian factions is the reorganisation of the PLO because it is the doorstep for starting a new “real partnership” aiming at uniting the Palestinian decision.

Meshaal stressed that Palestinian reconciliation strengthens Palestinians in the face of Israeli occupation, which “spreads bloodshed, desecrates holy places and confiscates land.”

Regarding the popular position towards the reconciliation, Meshaal said that the Palestinians are “worried and cautious” about the reconciliation because of previous “relapses” followed several previous agreements.

However, he pledged “to do [his] best” to lead this Palestinian project to success. He considered what Fatah and Hamas have done as “vital” to all sides.
