[ 13/04/2011 - 02:28 PM ] DAMASCUS, (PIC)-- Dr. Mousa Abu Marzouk, deputy political bureau chairman of Hamas, has denied news reports that Mahmoud Zahhar, political bureau member of Hamas, had met with Mahmoud Abbas, de facto Palestinian president and Fatah leader, in Cairo.
Asked by the PIC on the report, Abu Marzouk categorically denied that the meeting had ever taken place a few days ago as alleged in the news report.
Palestinian websites claimed that a secret meeting was held between Abbas and Zahhar to discuss national reconciliation and that progress was made during the talks.
Abu Marzouk had earlier told the PIC in an interview on Tuesday that Hamas could not forge reconciliation or go to elections while it is persecuted in the West Bank and its cadres are being harassed.
He urged Abbas to furnish the suitable atmosphere for reconciliation.
