Egyptian intelligence Chief arrives at Ramallah

CAIRO – 3 October 2017: Egyptian Intelligence Chief Major General Khaled Fawzy has arrived to Ramallah Tuesday morning where he met his Palestinian counterpart Major General Majed Faraj.

Fawzy is expected to head to the Gaza Strip within the coming hours after meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to oversee the implementation of the reconciliation agreement signed between Hamas and Fatah in Cairo, in September.

Hamas’ movement had announced on September 17 the dissolution of the administrative committee at the Gaza Strip, inviting the Government of National Reconciliation to assume its duties and hold general elections. The movement affirmed it would comply with the Social Reconciliation Accord signed in 2011.

Earlier, Palestinian President Abbas said that there is no other country as vital to the Palestinian cause as Egypt due to its historical and political position in the region. “Egypt has an opinion, a position and an interest in the Palestinian cause,” said Abbas.
