2006-02-20

Gaza (Ma'an) – The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) announced that it will tentatively participate in a Hamas run Palestinian Authority government.

PFLP representative Qais Al Ghoul met with Hamas PLC speaker Mahmoud Az Zahar in Gaza Monday. The meeting focused on political and social platforms for the upcoming government. During a discussion of prisoners, Zahar pledged to release all Palestinian political prisoners and vowed that no further political arrests will take place under Hamas leadership.

The political leaders also discussed security issues and the need for Palestinian unity.

Hamas spokesman, Salah Al Bardawil, described the meeting as friendly, practical, and successful. Bardawil said, ‘We listened to their ideas, and there were positive points that we agreed on.’
