GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Hamas chief-in-exile Khaled Mashaal and deputy chief Mousa Abu Marzouq praised the Gaza government on Saturday for their organization of Fatah's anniversary celebrations.
The Hamas leaders made the comments during a phone call with Gaza premier Ismail Haniyeh, describing the movement's position to allow the festival as "expressing a great national position."
Fatah officials said that hundreds of thousands of people attended the celebrations in Gaza City's al-Saraya square on Friday, which saw a recorded speech by Fatah leader president Abbas played to the crowds.
"Soon we will achieve unity and end the occupation, raising the Palestinian flag over Al-Aqsa mosque and Jerusalem," Abbas said. more
