Hamas' Meshal arrives in Libya for talks

Sun, 20 Dec 2009

Tripoli - Khaled Meshal, the head of the political wing of Hamas, arrived Sunday in Tripoli for talks with Libyan leader Moamer Gaddafi. In a short statement carried by the official JANA news agency, Meshal said he was "keen to consult with Gaddafi" on various issues, without elaborating.

The visit was part of a diplomatic trip by Hamas officials to several Arab and Islamic countries, the head of the Islamist movement said.

Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, and Fatah, who run the West Bank, have failed over repeated rounds of talks in Egypt to settle their differences, in order to negotiate with Israel directly.
