-- Nazzal DAMASCUS, Nov 14 (KUNA) -- Hamas and Fatah agreed on two disputed points; elections and re-activating PLO's role, Hamas's politburo member Mohammad Nazzal said here Sunday.
Nazzal's announcement to the press came at the conclusion of a reconciliation meeting held earlier, which was mainly based on the September 24 meeting and Hamas's remarks on Egyptian proposals.
Hamas' remarks on the proposals revolved around elections, PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organization) and the security file. "What remained is the security file," Nazzal noted.
Nazzal did not eliminate the possibility of a potential Israeli incursion, or even occupation of the West Bank, attributing that to the fact that Israel is rather conservative over the Fatah-Hamas conciliation meeting.
Hamas's relation with Egypt is relatively improving, as opposed to a tense one in the past, he pointed out, denying that Egypt had no restraints over dialogue between the two factions.
As for statements by Fatah delegation leader, in which he held Hamas accountable for attempting to foil the talks, Nazzal such statements are "reprehensible," as he -- as a delegation leader -- should maintain a positive atmosphere for talks.
"Israel will continue its Judiazation scheme of Jerusalem and it never had to do with the Palestinian-Palestinian standoff," he said.
He further said that there was "nothing new" regarding the prisoners' swap deal between Israel and Hamas, which mainly involves Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, who is still held by the movement as a bargaining chip since 2006. (end) tk.hb KUNA 141620 Nov 10NNNN
