GAZA, (PIC)-- Palestinian premier in Gaza Ismail Haneyya congratulated leaders of Hamas, Fatah, and Islamic Jihad Khaled Mishaal, Mahmoud Abbas, and Ramadan Shallah after signing the unity agreement in Cairo.
A statement by the premier’s office said that Haneyya reached Mishaal, Abbas, and Shallah over the phone on Wednesday evening to congratulate them on the signing of the reconciliation agreement.
Haneyya expressed his government’s readiness to offer all help needed to implement the agreement on the ground whether in the West Bank or Gaza Strip.
OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu met on Wednesday a number of top British officials in London as part of a European tour aimed at mobilizing opposition to the reconciliation deal between Hamas and Fatah factions.
A senior Israeli official said Netanyahu would discuss with European officials the issue of unity between Hamas and Fatah and warn them against the political partnership that Mahmoud Abbas intends to establish with Hamas Movement.
The Israeli premier had asked Abbas a few days ago to backtrack on his intention to reconcile with Hamas and to return to Israel's peace talks, on the ground that such an agreement constitutes a serious blow to the peace process.
