BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- Egypt will invite Palestinian factions to Cairo to
resume reconciliation talks after Palestine's bid for a UN status
upgrade this week, a political official said Saturday.
Khalil
Assaf, who heads the coalition of independents in the West Bank and also
chairs the public freedoms committee established under the
reconciliation deal, said he expects Egypt's invitation in the coming
days.
All Palestinian leaders will then convene in Cairo to
discuss their next steps after President Mahmoud Abbas returns from the
UN bid, due for a vote at the UN General Assembly on Thursday, Assaf
said.
All the principles of reconciliation have been agreed and now the leaders need to get on with implementing them, he told Ma'an.
An
Egyptian-brokered reconciliation deal between Fatah and Hamas has
repeatedly stalled, after the parties violently split Palestine into
separate governments in 2007.
Assaf blamed the failure of the agreement on a lack of political will.
But
he noted that circumstances had now changed. Israel's eight-day
bombardment of the Gaza Strip united Palestinians, and Palestinians are
now calling for unity in their political factions in rallies in the West
Bank and Gaza, he said.

Israel's Violence on Palestenians
Right to Defend itself
Israel has always cried 'holocaust' tears to the world while singing the old tune of "Defending itself and its citizens".
How do they do it? By banning or killing international journalists by bribing their supportive governments.
Palestine is destroyed as a State so is Gaza. Meanwhile the "chronically suffering Israel" has developed to a point it does not need Uncle Sam anymore, see their infrastructure, see their military development up to nuclear programs... and they are the eternal "poor" in need.
