Egypt's Ambassador to Palestine Yasser Othman said Saturday that the Egyptian government is leading ongoing efforts to achieve a Palestinian reconciliation and end division between political factions there.
Othman told MENA in Ramallah that Egyptian authorities are currently pushing to conclude a reconciliation agreement, and remain active in efforts to unify different political forces and to restore Palestinians’ legitimate rights.
Othman met a delegation of independent Palestinian figures in the West Bank headed by Moneib al-Masry, who came to congratulate him on Egypt's new president, Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Morsy.
The delegation thanked him for Egypt's reconciliation efforts and endeavors to end division between Palestinian forces, and also praised President Mohamed Morsy's speech and his announcement that he will continue Egypt’s efforts to achieve reconciliation.
