Gaza : An agreement was reached to form a committee that includes representatives of several Palestinian factions to deal with the dossier of political prisoners, an official of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) said.
The committee groups Hamas, Fatah, the DFLP, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), and Islamic Jihad.
DFLP Central Committee member Saleh Nasser told reporters Thursday the agreement was reached at a meeting Wednesday night which gathered leaders of the different Palestinian factions.
He noted the discussions covered several developments which affect the state of internal affairs and which caused tension over the past few days.
The committee is to receive lists of names and find a mechanism for the release of the prisoners, whether held in the West Bank or the Gaza Strip.
The officials also discussed and called for an end to propaganda confrontations among Palestinian groups, the ceasefire with Israel, and the Egyptian call for an all-inclusive Palestinian national dialogue, the DFLP figure said.
