A delegation of the Palestinian Hamas movement from the Gaza Strip on Tuesday entered Egypt via Rafah land crossing for talks with Egyptian officials on the resumption of an inter-Palestinian dialogue.
The 18-member Hamas team was led by Mahmoud al-Zahar, a senior Hamas leader and former Palestinian foreign minister, said the Egyptian MENA news agency.
More Hamas members in the West Bank and from outside the Palestinian territories led by Moussa Abu Marzouk, deputy head of Hamas' political bureau, will join the Gaza delegation in Cairo.
The Hamas delegation is expected to have talks with Egyptian intelligence chief Omar Suleiman on Wednesday.
Since late August, Egypt has held a series of separate talks with representatives of all Palestinian factions in a bid to resume the inter-Palestinian dialogue and end political separation between the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip and the Palestinian National Authority-ruled West Bank.
