Hawzah News Agency - (Occupied Palestine) - In a statement announced during a meeting with leaders of major factions in the besieged Gaza Strip on Thursday, the Hamas leadership said it had received on September 19 a national vision for putting an end to the current rift.

Ismail Haniyeh, the head of Hamas Political Bureau, affirmed that the Hamas leadership both at home and abroad studied the proposal out of its responsibility and great keenness to achieve national unity among Palestinians and decided to accept it “unconditionally and fully.”

“In recognition of the factions’ sincere and honest efforts and out of our awareness of the dangers and challenges surrounding the [Palestinian] cause and threatening its constants, the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, declares its approval of the factions’ initiative while rising above its observations on the initiative in order to make it succeed,” the Hamas statement further read, as quoted by the Palestine Information Center.

The resistance movement also pledged to make every effort and remove all obstacles for the success of the initiative.
