Palestinian source: Hamas agrees to form a technocratic government
A Palestinian source in Ramallah told Sky News Arabia on Tuesday that Qatar conveyed to President Mahmoud Abbas the approval of the Hamas movement to form a technocratic government, whose mission is to reconstruct Gaza and restore security to it after the war.
According to the source, Hamas does not require any names to head this government or any of its ministers.
Doha also conveyed Hamas's initial acceptance of entry into the Palestine Liberation Organization, on the condition that this is linked to a clear political horizon leading to a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders.
These developments came after the return of Abbas and a number of Palestinian officials from Doha at dawn on Tuesday, after a three-day visit.
The source confirmed the agreement on an Arab principles paper led and followed by Saudi Arabia, which has been delegated by Palestinians and Arabs to do so.
The principles paper includes 3 points:
First: stopping the war in Gaza and establishing a political horizon for a two-state solution.
Second: Post-war reconstruction of Gaza through a technocratic government leading this stage.
Third: Following up on the internal Palestinian situation, completing reconciliation, and Hamas’ entry into the PLO within a single Palestinian-Arab vision.
