| [Ma'an] De facto Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh said on Tuesday that the Gaza Strip "is part of the bigger Palestinian homeland, and not an independent entity," during a meeting held with a delegation of Egyptian businessmen in in Gaza City Haniyeh welcomed his Egyptian guests and applauded their efforts to help the Palestinian people face challenges. He asserted that his government provided all the required assistance for companies to invest in the Gaza Strip, adding that the government does not intervene or impede the private sector's activities. "We need support from all our brothers because the Gaza Strip humanly, morally, and politically relies on our Arab brothers in Egypt," Haniyeh said. Haniyeh also noted that he "hopes Egyptian efforts will achieve reconciliation." The Gaza government's Minister of Economy Ziad Thatha attended the meeting along with Dr Muhammad Awad, secretary-general of the de facto government cabinet, Dr Faris Abu Mu'ammar, head of lands department, and Dr Hasan Abu Hashish, director of the de facto government's media office. |
