| Haniyeh postpones all-factions meeting, cites emergency |
| 2009-12-20 |
| [Ma'an] Hamas leader in Gaza Ayman Taha said Saturday that the movement's leader Ismail Haniyeh has called off a meeting initially set for Sunday where leaders of all Palestinian factions were to have discussed Egypt's unity plan. An invitation to the meeting was made public on Friday, but received no official responses from factions. One statement from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine said they and other PLO factions were engaged in "serious meetings" in Ramallah, trying to determine their collective response to the invite. Taha cited an "emergency" behind Haniyeh's calling off of the meeting. He did not announce an alternative date for the meeting. |
