By Xinhua,
Cairo : Egyptian intelligence chief Omar Suleiman on Sunday held talks with a delegation of the Palestinian People’s Party on means of healing the current inter-Palestinian rift.
The Palestinian delegation, led by the party’s Secretary General Bassam al-Salhi, discussed with Suleiman its views on the Palestinian situation and means to restore Palestinian unity, the Egyptian MENA news agency said.
Suleiman’s meeting with the delegation is part of Egyptian mediation efforts to help resume an inter-Palestinian reconciliation dialogue.
In late August, Egyptian mediators started bilateral talks with delegations of Palestinian factions to hammer out a unified stance among Palestinians to overcome the current inter-Palestinian crisis, particularly between Hamas and Fatah.
The Palestinian factions, under the auspices of Egypt, are expected to start a comprehensive national dialogue in early October.
