Hamdallah urges reconciliation in 2nd official visit to Gaza

GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah said Wednesday that his visit to Gaza was out of devotion to national reconciliation, saying that the Palestinian government "will not accept separating or isolating Gaza."

It was only Hamdallah's second visit to the Gaza Strip since a unity government agreed on by rivals Fatah and Hamas took office last June.

Ramdallah emphasized during a press conference that he aims to find solutions to all issues plaguing the Gaza Strip, vowing that civilian workers of Hamas's de facto administration in Gaza would go on the payroll of the Fatah-dominated Palestinian Authority.

The prime minister also stressed the importance of holding presidential and legislative elections.
