Fattouh wished the group success and expressed his full willingness to provide support and assistance.

The Palestinian leader emphasized that the body was backed by all Palestinian parties and factions and is composed of specialists from several sectors.

The PNC chairman also welcomed the announcement of the entry into the second phase of the ceasefire deal in the Gaza Strip, although Israel continues its daily strikes on the territory.

Fattouh underscored that Gaza is an integral part of the Palestinian state, and no just political solution is possible without it.

Hamas, which has governed Gaza since 2007, indicated that this body is an important step toward consolidating the ceasefire and preventing a return to the war, which has killed more than 71,000 people in Gaza.
