Gaza,(Alresalah.ps)– A Hamas delegation headed by the vice chairman of
Hamas political buerau Ismail Haneyya arrived in Egypt on Tuesday.
Hanyya and his accompanying delegation arrived last Sunday in the Egyptian
capital, Cairo, to meet with Egyptian officials, according to several
sources, just before his return to the Gaza Strip.
Two Palestinian political analysts predicted on Tuesday that the reception
protocols of Ismail Haneyya, deputy chairman of the Hamas political bureau,
in Cairo will positively impact the files tabled in the agenda of his Cairo
meetings.
A security source at Cairo International Airport told Anadolu Agency that
Haneyya and his accompanying delegation arrived in Cairo on a Qatari plane
coming from Doha and proceeded to the airport’s VIP lounge where Egyptian
officials supervised their check-in procedures.
The source added that the official visit will take several days during which
he will meet with a number of security officials to discuss the latest
developments in the Palestinian issue as well as the situation in the Gaza
Strip.
The political analyst Hussam al-Dajani said that the nature of the reception
protocols at Cairo airport indicated the importance the Egyptian
intelligence is according to Haneyya’s visit.
Al-Dajani told the PIC that the meeting comes as a product of a real shift
in Egypt’s position toward Hamas Movement, and Hamas’s realization of the
importance of the Egyptian position vis-à-vis the Palestinian internal
affairs.
The analyst expected the meeting to result in an improvement in the relation
between the two sides and lead to the opening of the Rafah crossing in a
different way than before as well as developing a vision to establish a free
trade zone between Egypt and Gaza.
He pointed out that the security file will be the most prominent issue
discussed by the two sides expecting this to result in a better security
environment on the Egyptian-Palestinian borders, especially that Hamas is
willing to secure the borders.
