“Haniyeh reviewed the recent political developments, especially the issue of reconciliation,” according to a Hamas statement.

Haniyeh said Hamas is “serious” about implementing agreements and that the Palestinian division was “behind us, as this stage requires Palestinian unity.”

Abdullah expressed his support for the Palestinian reconciliation process.
