The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz has congratulated Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on the reconciliation agreement struck between Fatah and Hamas movements in Cairo this week. King Salman received on Friday a telephone call from Abbas who briefed him on the reconciliation deal. During the conversation, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques stressed that unity is the roadmap to enabling the Palestinian government to serve its people. He also lauded the efforts of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and his government in striking the agreement. For his part, Abbas expressed gratitude and appreciation to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques for his noble feelings and the support the Palestinian people receive from the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, since the era of late King Abdulaziz bin Abdulrahman to date. An official source at the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs also welcomed the reconciliation deal. The source reaffirmed the Kingdoms hope that this significant breakthrough would fulfill aspirations of the Palestinian people for achieving national unity and ending Palestinian internal division, in order to enable Palestinian people to regain their legitimate rights, in line with the resolutions of international legitimacy and Arab Peace Initiative.
