Berlin : European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said Thursday she needed time to ‘study the details’ of a reconciliation agreement between Palestinian factions, Fatah and Hamas.
‘On behalf of the EU, I am following the decision to form an interim Palestinian Government with great interest. The EU has consistently called for peace and reconciliation, under the authority of President Abbas, leading to an end to the division between the West Bank and Gaza and in support of greater security and stability across the region,’ Ashton said in a statement.
‘We will study the detail of this agreement and discuss with colleagues in the
EU and in the region,’ she added.
Fatah and Hamas on Wednesday in Cairo announced details of a reconciliation deal, ending their long political dispute.
