<p>GAZA, (PIC)&#8211; Hamas politburo member  Khalil al-Hayya has said his party&#8217;s invitation for Abbas to visit Gaza  is still up, but he emphasized that the visit should culminate in a  comprehensive agreement and should not just serve as a protocol trip.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">His statements came during a press  conference following a meeting called for by Hamas gathering Palestinian  factions and forces, including the rival West Bank-ruling Fatah party  as well as rights experts and university professors in order to brief  them about its vision on Palestinian reconciliation and the results of  the recent Hamas tour in Egypt.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">He reiterated that Hamas has a keen  interest to reconcile with all Palestinian factions and end the national  split and was confident that talks could materialize under a deadline  to reach agreements on all pending Palestinian issues of conflict.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">”We consider that we have begun the first  step in working to form this Palestinian national dialogue, and we hope  it will culminate as soon as possible, and we are prepared to work hard  for that,” Hayya said.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">He noted the possibility that new  agreements would be built on the Egyptian paper documenting points  already agreed upon by Palestinian factions.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The meeting came two days after Fatah  representatives visited the Gaza Strip to hear what Hamas had envisioned  for reconciliation. They promised to take that vision to Mahmoud Abbas.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Hayya was one of the Hamas delegates that  met with the Supreme Council for the Armed Forces which controls Egypt  as well as the new foreign minister along with Hamas politburo member  and co-founder Mahmoud Zahar.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">He said concerning the result of the tour,  ”We found that the Egyptian leadership was prepared to create new  policies for operations at the Rafah border crossing.”</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">”We were promised they would finalize the  issue and allow all aid and procedures concerning easing affairs for  Palestinians in Gaza, and to transmit the Palestinian cause everywhere.”</p>
