In an interview with Al-Resalah, Al-Ahmad said that Hanna Nasser, the head of the Elections Committee, had passed “positive” messages about Hamas’ response to Fatah President Mahmoud Abbas’ conditions.

He said that Nasser had not handed over Hamas’ response and said:

“We hope that we are not shocked with an embarrassing reply when Abbas receives Hamas’ message.”

The head of Fatah’s parliamentarian bloc said that his movement wants the elections to end the internal division and unite the Palestinians.

He stressed that Fatah aims to use the elections as a means to end the division, which is “a big project”.

During a press conference held jointly on Tuesday with Nasser in Gaza, Chief of Hamas’ Political Bureau Ismail Haniyeh announced that he had handed over the movement’s “positive” reply to Abbas’ conditions.
