Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi will meet his Palestinian counterpart, Mahmoud Abbas, and Hamas politburo chief Khaled Meshaal in Cairo on Wednesday, Morsi's office said.
Abbas and Meshaal will first ‘meet Egypt's intelligence chief before holding a three-way meeting with President Morsi,’ presidential spokesman Yasser Ali told AFP. Azzam al-Ahmad, who is in charge of reconciliation efforts between his Fatah party, of which Abbas is head, said Abbas was traveling to Egypt at Morsi's invitation to discuss the subject. Meshaal and aides arrived in Cairo from Doha yesterday for a visit of several days, the official MENA news agency said.
