Meanwhile, leaders of rival Fatah and Islamic Resistance Movement, or Hamas, said they agreed on Thursday evening on the immediate starting of constitutional measures on forming the national unity government.

 

Spokesman of Fatah movement, Abdul Hakim Awad told reporters following a two-hour meeting between the two movements' leaders in Gaza "We agreed to start immediately the constitutional measures to form the new government."

 

"The agreement was reached following intensive talks to overcome the crisis, which emerged on Wednesday," said Awad, adding that President Mahmoud Abbas and Premier Ismail Haneya will meet at 6:30 PM (16:30 GMT) Jerusalem time.
