CAIRO, (PIC)-- A delegation from Hamas met Tuesday with the new Egyptian Foreign Minister Nabil al-Arabi to discuss Egypt's role in Palestinian issues following the ouster of the former regime that ruled for more than thirty years.
Hamas has praised Arabi's positions warning of the fresh Israeli attacks on Gaza and the Israeli Gaza siege.
The delegation that included Hamas politburo member and co-founder Mahmoud al-Zahar and Khalil al-Hayya said they sensed during the visit a new Egyptian policy that would take shape in the next few days.
In the next few days we will see Egypt's vision on dealing with the Rafah crossing and the Palestinian issue, so we really consider the visit positive. We raised a lot of issues, including the Palestinians stranded in Libya, those detained in the Egyptian prisons and the issues of the border crossings, reconciliation and the humanitarian needs of the Palestinians.
