Palestinian forces in Gaza stress on historical relationships with Egypt

National and Islamic Forces in Gaza stressed on the importance of the role played by Egypt to achieve the Palestinian national reconciliation, demanding Egypt to continue its role until the achievement of unity and the end of division.

The National and Islamic Forces expressed in a statement on Wednesday, following a meeting in the office of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, their appreciation of the Egyptian army and its important role in maintaining the strategic balance with Israel.

They confirmed that the Palestinian people and its national and Islamic forces will never intervene, in any way, in the Egyptian internal affairs.

Participants in the meeting called on Egypt and all Arab States to make more efforts in order to end the Gaza siege and achieve the Palestinian unity.

They have also demanded the Egyptian media to be careful when dealing with the Palestinian issues in general and Gaza issue in particular.

They emphasized that the Egyptians’ support for the Palestinian cause is an essential element for the continuation of the Palestinian liberation struggle that aims to achieve Palestinian national rights to self-determination and return and to establish a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.
