PLO office in Damascus to reopen – report

Palestinian sources say the Syrian government agreed to reopen the Fatah party offices in Damascus, which have been closed since 1982 when the movement split.

According to a report in Ynet, Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal el Mekdad told the diplomatic representative of the PLO in Damascus about the decision to reopen the office.

Over the past few months there was cooperation between the Palestinian Authority and the Assad regime regarding the condition of Palestinian refugees in the Yarmouk refugee camp, near Damascus.
