<p style="font-size:10pt;">CAIRO, (PIC)&#8211; Observers in Cairo have  proposed the participation of Egypt in the upcoming Hamas-Fatah meeting  in Damascus to ensure all obstacles would be overcome especially when  Cairo had objected to Hamas&#8217;s participation in leading PA security  apparatuses.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Mohammed Juma, a researcher in Palestinian  affairs, told the PIC that it would be better to have a small Egyptian  official delegation in the meeting following the reported Egyptian  reservations on Hamas&#8217;s participation in commanding posts in the PA  security bodies.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">He explained that the step would remove many obstacles before conclusion of a final agreement between Palestinian parties.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">For his part, Ibrahim Al-Dirwai, a media  specialist in the Palestinian affairs, welcomed the idea of an Egyptian  delegation in the Damascus meeting.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">He added that it would help in restoring cohesion to Egypt&#8217;s ties with Hamas following a period of chill in those relations.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Any decision would be binding to all parties particularly with the presence of the Egyptian side, Dirawi elaborated.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The media expert, however, ruled out  success of the Damascus meeting in view of the sensitivity of the  security issue and the disparity in the two movement&#8217;s opinions  regarding it especially with the continued security coordination between  Fatah and the Israeli occupation authority.</p>
