Top Hamas terrorist Khaled Masha'al said Monday night that in his next meeting with PA chief Mahmoud Abbas the two would attempt to work out positions on political issues dividing Hamas and the PA. PA sources said that the two would meet in Cairo next month. The sources said that the “time has come to examine the agreements that are holding the Palestinian people back in the security and financial areas, and to free ourselves of them.”

Specifically, the sources said, the agreements with Israel needed to be examined.
