RAMALLAH — Palestinian Legislative Council Speaker Aziz Duwaik met late Monday in Ramallah with Ambassador Mustafa Sarnıç, Consul General of Turkey in Jerusalem.
"The Turkish envoy reiterated his country's commitment to continue supporting the Palestinian cause," MP Ayman Daraghma told Anadolu Agency.
"He also reaffirmed Ankara's support to the recent Palestinian reconciliation agreement between Fatah and Hamas," added Daraghma, a Hamas lawmaker.
Last month, Fatah and Hamas hammered out a reconciliation deal in Gaza with a view to ending the rifts that have marred their relations since 2007.
The deal stipulates the formation of a national unity government to serve until presidential and legislative elections are held in the occupied West Bank and the Hamas-run Gaza Strip.
