Hamas Leader Bardawil: Hamas delegation in Cairo on Friday

A delegation of the Hamas movement is to head to Cairo on Friday to attend a meeting on reactivating the Palestine Liberation Organization, Dr. Salah Al-Bardawil, a Hamas leader, said.

He told Jordanian daily Al-Ghad published on Wednesday that the meeting, on 8-9 February, would also look into the formation of an election committee for the national council (the PLO parliament in exile) and finalizing the elections law.

Bardawil described the meeting as one of the steps toward concluding national reconciliation, adding that a concentrated national effort is required to complete the reconciliation process.

In another context, the Hamas leader affirmed that Khaled Mishaal was adamant on refusing his re-nomination as political bureau chief of Hamas.
