Egypt postpones inter-Palestinian dialogue between Fatah and Hamas until the end of Ramadan and Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations, Palestinian sources say, Press TV reported.
The decision to postpone the latest Egyptian-mediated reconciliation talks, which were previously shifted from Aug 7 to Aug 25, was taken after Fatah chief Mahmoud Abbas decided to call together the Palestinian National Council (PNC) in Ramallah on Aug 26 for two days.
The PNC is to convene to elect new members of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) executive committee. Those elected will fill the seven vacant posts in the 18-member executive committee.
The 30-day fasting month of Ramadan, which began on Saturday, ends on Sept 21, while Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations would last for three days. Thus the dialogue will resume after Eid holidays, the source said.
