ISTANBUL, (PIC)– Khaled Mishaal, the political bureau chairman of Hamas, has reached George Sabra, the chairman of the Syrian national council, for a discussion of the conditions of Palestinian refugee camps in Syria.
A statement by the council on Thursday said that Mishaal in the phone call, the first of its kind, appreciated the council’s solidarity with Palestinian refugees in Syria, who came under aerial bombing prompting thousands to flee to Lebanon and to other areas in Damascus and its outskirts.
Mishaal also appreciated the political and field leaders’ keenness on sparing the refugee camps any possible massacres after military forces were mobilized on the outskirts of Yarmouk and Palestine refugee camps.
For his part, Sabra reiterated the Syrian people’s concern with the Palestine cause and expressed understanding to the call by various parties to neutralize the Palestinian refugee camps in Syria while keeping the Syrian regime and its affiliates away from them.
An agreement on Wednesday allowed Palestinian factions to assume responsibility of security within the refugee camps while not allowing the Syrian regular army to enter them and at the same time getting fighters of the Syrian free army out of them.
The agreement was welcomed by both Mishaal and Sabra, the statement said, adding that they both agreed on importance of maintaining coordination between the council and Palestinian national factions in the upcoming stage especially regarding the conditions of those refugee camps that host around half a million Palestinians.
