Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Tuesday hailed Egypt’s efforts to end division and achieve Palestinian reconciliation under the auspices of its President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, saying that the Palestinian people appreciate Egypt’s role.

During a meeting with an Egyptian media delegation in Ramallah, Abbas said that Egypt is essential for us because we are part of its national security and we don’t accept anyone to interfere in our domestic affairs but Egypt, which is assigned by the Arab League (AL) to deal with the reconciliation file.
