| As-Sarraj denies Egyptian intel chief to resign |
| 2009-12-14 |
| [Ma'an] The head of the delegation of members of the Palestinian Reconcilliation Committee, Iyad As-Sarraj, denied on Sunday reports that Egyptian Intelligence chief Omar Suleiman would soon submit his resignation. As-Sarraj was responding to reports that Suleiman would leave his post if asked to include Hamas' amendments in the Egyptian proposal, according to a statement released on Sunday. As-Sarraj added that the aim of publishing such reports was to distort and obstruct the committee's work, following the extensive response they have received in Cairo by Egyptian officials, insisting that there are many positive outcomes to the visit. Last week, a delegation of members from various Palestinian political parties went to Cairo to discuss the Egyptian-backed reconcilliation document aimed at ending Hamas-Fatah rivalry in the occupied Palestinian territories. |
