RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- Jibril Al-Rajoub, secretary-general of Fatah's central committee, has claimed Qatar will make efforts to see that Hamas complies with Mahmoud Abbas's ”reconciliation initiative.” Hamas has denied the initiative.
Rajoub told the AFP that he handed Qatari Prime Minister Hamad bin Jasim a letter from Abbas addressed to the prince Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani concerning the initiative.
He said Qatar has promised to contact Hamas leaders to encourage the party to ”deal positively” with the initiative.
”We clarified to Sheikh Hamad that we want to restore the unity of the Palestinian pluralistic political system,” he added.
A Hamas leader – who preferred to remain anonymous – denied any current development in the issue of national reconciliation and said Fatah has not offered anything that would provide a climate catering to reconciliation.
Fatah has recently led a media attack against the Qatari Prince and foreign ministry after Al-Jazeera based in the country leaked documents that detailed the amount of concessions Palestinian negotiators made with Israel. Fatah sparked several demonstrations across the West Bank where images of the prince and the Qatari flag were burnt.
