Political bureau chairman of Hamas Khaled Mishaal and Gaza premier and Hamas leader Ismail Haneyya conferred in Cairo on Sunday with Egyptian intelligence chief Rafat Shehada.
Taher Al-Nunu, the government’s spokesman, said in a statement from Cairo that the discussion tackled Palestinian reconciliation and the importance of reactivating it.
He told the PIC that the discussion also tackled the Israeli repeated violations of the calm agreement and denying Palestinian fishermen the agreed upon fishing area off the Gaza coast.
Nunu said that the issue of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli occupation jails especially those on hunger strike were on agenda of the talks, holding Israel fully responsible for the death of any one of them. He said Egypt was called upon to follow up the agreement on prisoners with the occupation.
The spokesman said that the relations between Egypt and the Hamas government in Gaza were strong, adding that Shehada expressed conviction that Hamas had nothing to do with the attack on Egyptian soldiers in Rafah refuting media claims in this regard.
