Egypt continues mediation efforts on Palestinians unity
Egypt's Foreign Ministry spokesman Hossam Zaki reported Tuesday that
Egypt will continue to exert its efforts to close ranks of the
Palestinians
In a press release issued on Tuesday, Zaki said an emergency meeting of
Arab foreign ministers in
Cairo scheduled for Nov. 26 is an important opportunity to put the
Palestinian issue back on right track.

Arab foreign ministers will discuss situation in the
Palestinian territories, the peace process and the current conditions in
Gaza Strip, said the spokesman.
Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul Gheit will explain Egypt's vision of the
Palestinian situation since 2006, particularly the
Egyptian efforts on maintaining the truce between
Israel and
Palestinian militant groups and hosting an
inter-Palestinian unity dialogue, added Zaki.
During the past three weeks, scores of rockets have been fired at
Israel and over a dozen
Palestinian militants have been killed by
Israeli troops.
The recent flare-up has triggered worries that the
Egypt-brokered truce between
Israel and
Palestinian militant groups in and around
Gaza might collapse before its first phase of six months expires in December.
Meanwhile,
Palestinian Islamic Hamas movement boycotted an
Egyptian-hosted dialogue which was due to start early this month, citing the continuation of a
Fatah-led clampdown against its members in the
West Bank.
