Hamas says ready to go to Cairo to sign Egyptian conciliation document

DAMASCUS, Nov 22 (KUNA) -- Hamas is ready to end inter-Palestinian division and go to Cairo to sign the Egyptian conciliation document, a top movement official said Monday.
Politburo chief Khaled Mishal said Hamas was keen on achieving Palestinian conciliation and end divisions between the Palestinian factions.
"We want a genuine conciliation and partnership in the Palestinian Authority and PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization) and end arrests in Ramallah in order to face the Israeli stubbornness with a solid national unity, " Mishal told reporters on sidelines of a National Day ceremony held by the Lebanese Embassy.
Mishal said Hamas supported reformulating the Palestinian political position to strengthen rejection of the Israeli policies.
He said Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas should reconsider his political options and not to yield to any pressure. (end) om.bs KUNA 222328 Nov 10NNNN
