JEDDAH, Nov 26 (KUNA) -- Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic
Cooperation (OIC) Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu underlined here Saturday the importance
of Palestinian national unity for boosting gains on the international arena.
Commenting on a recent meeting between Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas and
Hamas leader Khalid Meshal in Cairo, he said Palestinian unity is a must,
especially as Palestine has become a UNESCO member and is required to step up
efforts in the context of UN membership bid.
He added that inter-Palestinian reconciliation would lead to the
fulfillment of the Palestinian people's expectations and hopes, chiefly an end
to the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories and creation of a
Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital. (end)
