Abbas presented to Haniyeh a political vision that will be
presented during the meeting of the general secretaries of Palestinian groups
in Cairo at the end of this month. This occurred before they met with Turkish
President
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, according to Al-Jazeera.
The channel quoted undisclosed sources, saying that
President Abbas assured Haniyeh that the plan would be based on international
legitimacy and that everyone should join the PLO, stressing his commitment to
the option of peaceful resistance.
Haniyeh informed Abbas that Hamas is targeting the
occupation and that it is not interested in attacking or overthrowing the
Palestinian Authority (PA), and that his movement adopts resistance in all its
forms and does not accept the formula of committing to international
legitimacy.
Abbas also rejected Haniyeh’s request for the urgent release
of Palestinian detainees ahead of the meeting of general secretaries of
Palestinian groups in Cairo next week.
Frank and in-depth discussionIn a statement, a member of the political bureau of Hamas,
Husam Badran, said, "The meeting witnessed a frank and in-depth
discussion, and came within the framework of completing the movement's
consultations with various Palestinian forces and factions, with the aim of
preparing well for the meeting of the general secretaries scheduled to take
place on July 29 and 30 in the Egyptian capital, Cairo."
The attendees agreed to the need to unify national efforts
to confront the dangers looming over the Palestinian cause, especially the
projects of the
extremist Zionist government that wants to swallow up the land,
expand settlements, and control the capabilities of Palestinian people; and at
the forefront of that is the main danger related to the
West Bank and occupied Jerusalem.
Badran said: "Hamas confirmed that comprehensive
resistance is the most effective way to confront the occupation and the dangers
surrounding the issue." He
continued, "We emphasized that the outputs of the meeting of general
secertaries must be commensurate with the aspirations and hopes of our people.
Therefore, good preparation is required for
this meeting, with the need to
create field conditions for its success.
