Yemen welcomed on Wednesday the reconciliation agreement signed between the two main Palestinian movements, Fatah and Hamas, in the Egyptian capital Cairo.
"Yemen sees that the signing of this agreement is a valid and important step to serve the higher interests of the Palestinian people and promote their aspirations in order to recover their legitimate rights, including the establishment of their independent state with Jerusalem as its capital", an official source in the government said to Saba.The source added that Yemen hopes that the agreement would lead to the unification of the Palestinian national factions and miss the opportunity to all Israeli schemes aimed at undermining the national unity of Palestine.Hamas and Fatah signed in Cairo on Wednesday a deal to end the division and achieve national unity.Earlier on Wednesday delegations headed by Musa Abu Marzoka, member of Hamas Politburo member, and Azzam al-Ahmad, member of Fatah central committee started talks to reach the long awaited unity deal mediated by Egyptian Foreign Minister Nabeel al-Arabi.According to sources in Cairo Fatah and Hamas signed the initial deal, while other Palestinian groups will arrive in Cairo within a week to sign the deal as well.The agreement will include the formation of a care taker government until elections take place in both the West Bank and Gaza.
