Gaza : Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas formed a committee following his initiative to resume an inter-Palestinian dialogue among all Palestinian factions, well-informed sources said Thursday.
The sources said the committee would include members in Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and leaders of various political groups.
The sources said the committee would convene as early as next week and would hold contacts with the leaders of the rival movements and other parties to prepare for the dialogue.
On Wednesday, Abbas presented an initiative to launch a Palestinian comprehensive dialogue and end the status of split and disputes, mainly between rival Fatah and Hamas movements.
Top Hamas leader Mahmoud al-Zahar told reporters earlier that Hamas movement welcomes Abbas call for holding a comprehensive dialogue “but without any preconditions.”
Taher al-Noono, spokesman of the deposed Hamas government in Gaza, also said “the government welcomes the initiative and accepts it.”
