Gaza - A senior official of the Gaza-ruling Islamic Hamas movement announced Friday that the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) and Egypt have agreed to the ideas raised by the movement to complete the reconciliation and ending internal division. Salah Bardawil said in a statement that Secretary General of Arab League Amr Moussa has telephoned Hamas leader Ismail Haneya that there is consent principle to the proposals by the Palestinian National Authority and Egypt. He said the new ideas and proposals, aiming to complete the reconciliation of the Palestinian and the signing of the Egyptian paper, were provided by Hamas during the visit of Moussa to the Gaza Strip last week. Bardawil declined to talk about these proposals but stressed that it contains a practical mechanism for the application of reservations made by the movement of some items of the Egypt- brokered reconciliation pact. He said Moussa expressed the readiness to intervene with the Egyptian leadership to adopt a suitable formula for the proposals. He stressed that numerous contacts took place in the wake of Moussa's visit, and all indicated that things are going well and that there is acceptance in principle by the PNA and Egyptian officials of these ideas. Moussa visited the Gaza Strip last Sunday in a tour of the first of its kind to discuss how to end the Israeli siege and realize reconciliation.
