Hamas 'asks to delay reconciliation deal'

Advertisements [?]

GAZA CITY — Hamas has asked Egypt to delay the signing of a Palestinian reconciliation deal that Cairo had announced for later this month, a source within the Islamist group ruling Gaza said on Wednesday.

Hamas "asked Egypt to postpone the session for the signature of the agreement," the source told AFP, asking not to be named.

The delay was requested because of the controversial decision by the Palestinian delegation at the UN Human Rights Council to drop its backing for an immediate vote on a damning report on the Gaza war, he said.
