Hamas reconciliation conditions

AKI says that the U.S. oppo­si­tion pushed Egypt to post­pone the reconciliation.

One of Fatah lead­ers told Al-Quds Al-Arabi:

There are indi­ca­tion and we know it says that Syria and Iran froze the rec­on­cil­i­a­tion process.

Another Fatah leader Azam Al-Ahmid told Saudi news­pa­per Al-Riyadh that Arab coun­tries (he didn’t want to name which) advised Hamas not to sign the reconciliation.

Hamas leader Abu Mar­zouk said that the Egypt­ian pro­posal con­tains some reser­va­tions on some points:

- The U.S. demand that the Pales­tin­ian rec­on­cil­i­a­tion must be based on the U.S. conditions.

- The sec­ond point con­cerns the need for a guar­an­tee that to respect the results of any elec­tion held. what it would be if ‘Hamas’ wins the elec­tion, will the Pales­tin­ian Author­ity and Arabs rec­og­nize Hamas’ government?

- The future of the embargo imposed on the Gaza Strip, and the mech­a­nism of the Rafah crossing.

- Hamas pris­on­ers in the Egypt­ian pris­ons, Their release is a key demand must be achieved as soon as possible.
