GAZA, July 19 (Xinhua) -- Islamic Hamas movement, which rules the Gaza Strip, accepted on Thursday an Egyptian initiative that aims at ending internal feuds between the movement and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas Fatah Party.

The office of Hamas politburo chief Ismail Haniyeh said in an emailed press statement that Haniyeh has informed Abbas Kamel, chief of the Egyptian Security Intelligence, that Hamas accepts the Egyptian initiative.

"Hamas accepts the Egyptian document that was presented to Hamas delegation during its visit to Cairo last week," said the office.

Egypt presented an initiative to both Hamas and Fatah aiming at ending Palestinian internal feuds and pushing forward the reconciliation talks stalled since December last year.
