Gaza City: The head of the Hamas government Esmail Haniya on Friday hailed the meeting between head of the Islamist movement and Egypt’s new president, as the “fruit of the revolution” that ousted Hosni Mubarak.
Egypt’s new Islamist President Mohammad Mursi met Hamas chief Khalid Mesha’al on Thursday — the first encounter of its kind between a delegation from the Palestinian movement and Egyptian head of state.
