Secretary General of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) Nayif Hawatmah on Thursday urged Hamas movement to take part in a comprehensive national dialogue without preconditions.
Hawatmah made his call here on Thursday following talks with Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul Gheit, the Egyptian MENA news agency reported.
"All Palestinian factions, except Hamas, call for unconditional comprehensive national dialogue," said Hawatmah, adding even "Fatah has ceded its conditions after talks with it."
Hawatmah said Hamas wants first to start dialogue with Fatah and then to kick off a comprehensive dialogue if an agreement is reached, which he considered as a return to partial solutions and deals based on power-sharing.
The DFLP leader urged Hamas to abandon such provisos and start national dialogue unconditionally.
Hawatmah said his talks with Abul Gheit focused on the importance of giving momentum to the Egyptian mediation efforts on holding a comprehensive inter-Palestinian dialogue in a bid to heal the rift among various Palestinian factions.
In late August, Egyptian mediators began to hold bilateral talks with delegations of Palestinian factions to hammer out a unified stance among Palestinians to overcome the current inter-Palestinian crisis.
Following the bilateral meetings, Egypt will then oversee a comprehensive Palestinian dialogue to help the Palestinians get out of the current crisis and rifts among rival movements, particularly between Fatah and Hamas.
In the past months, Egypt has been trying to broker a Palestinian reconciliation after it succeeded in brokering a ceasefire in June between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas movement which rules Gaza.
