The Secretary-General of the Islamic Jihad Movement, Ziyad al-Nakhalah, and his deputy, Mohammad Al-Hindi, received a delegation on Thursday evening from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, General Command, headed by its Secretary General, Talal Naji.

The two sides reviewed the various developments in the Palestinian arena and evaluated the El Alamein meeting and its outcome.

The meeting also praised the escalation of Resistance operations in the face of the occupation and the Resistance fighters' response to the occupation forces' incursions into Tulkarm, Nablus, Jenin, and other Palestinian cities, stressing the importance of "maintaining the resistance and ending all conspiracies being hatched against the Palestinian people and their cause."

Likewise, attending members condemned the continuation of political arrests and the pursuit of Resistance fighters in the West Bank, which represents "a service to the enemy and a continuation of security coordination." They agreed to strengthen bilateral relations, continue meetings and coordinate positions between the two sides.

PFLP-GC Secretary-General Talal Naji had told Al Mayadeen earlier in July, "We are against all arrests by the Palestinian Authority," adding that the movement's decision to participate in the meeting is contingent on the participation of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), whose Deputy Secretary-General told Al Mayadeen that the Resistance group will boycott the meeting unless Resistance fighters arbitrarily detained by the PA on political charges are released.

With regard to the meeting of the Palestinian faction leaders in the Egyptian city of El Alamein, Abbas Zaki, a member of the Central Committee of the Fatah movement, pointed out that the Israeli occupation did not leave any justification for preserving any agreement with it.

In an interview for Al Mayadeen, Zaki stressed that there are some sides that benefit from the Palestinian division and financed it and do not want to overcome the differences.

He stressed that Palestinian factions "must give ourselves some hope, especially since this stage requires overcoming all differences and the past to start a new beginning."

On his part, Maher Al-Taher, the head of international relations in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), told Al Mayadeen that the goal of the Egypt meeting is to create a form of procrastination, with the continuation of the current situation, making reference to the Palestinian Authority in particular.

Al-Taher considered that the latest meeting did not yield any results, adding, "Why did the Palestinian Authority not implement what was previously agreed upon?"
