Hamas’ National Relations Office Director Husam Bedran told AA, “Hamas and Palestinian groups received an invitation from the People’s Republic of China to attend an expanded meeting on the 21st and 22nd of this month.” Bedran said, “The movement approached this invitation positively, out of national responsibility, with the aim of achieving national unity. The Palestinian people, who showed sacrifice and heroism in the Battle of the Aqsa Flood, deserve to achieve national unity.” Bedran reported that a comprehensive meeting would be held in China with the participation of various Palestinian groups, and stated that “there is no program regarding bilateral talks.” Bedran recalled that a “comprehensive national meeting” was held in Beijing in April of this year, and expressed his belief that progress would be possible within the framework of the previous meeting.
Fatah Movement Mobilization and Organization Commission Spokesperson Abdulfettah Devle also stated that ways to end the division between Palestinian groups would be discussed at the meeting to be held in China.
