Mishaal in Cairo to discuss reconciliation

Political bureau chairman of Hamas Khaled Mishaal is to arrive in the Egyptian capital on Thursday heading a delegation, a senior Hamas official told the PIC reporter in Cairo on Wednesday.

He said that Mishaal and the accompanying delegation would meet with a number of Egyptian officials to discuss Palestinian reconciliation.

Yesser Al-Wadiya, a member of the PLO leadership, recently announced that Arab contacts were underway to overcome obstacles impeding the reconciliation and to reactivate the Doha declaration that agreed on Mahmoud Abbas, the PA chief and Fatah leader, as the premier of the transitory government.
