Head of the political bureau of Hamas, Khaled Meshaal, said yesterday that his movement is ready for Palestinian legislative and presidential elections.
This came in a brief phone call; during a ceremony organised by Al-Wafa’a Islamic bloc, the student wing of the Hamas Movement, at Birzeit University, on the occasion of its winning of the student council elections, on Wednesday.
Meshaal said: “The Palestinian national cause is greater than Fatah, Hamas and all the factions, and their efforts must combine for Palestine’s liberation and statehood.”
He added: “The Islamic bloc’s victory in the student council elections at Birzeit is a step on the road to our great national project, and I assure you that everyone is a winner because the democratic process has succeeded.”
He repeated: “We are ready for the legislative and presidential elections.”
