The (anti-Hamas)
Palestine Press Agency reports:
Informed sources said the Hamas delegation to Cairo were told of the absolute rejection of the request made by the Hamas to opening a representation office for the Arab Republic of Egypt in the Gaza Strip.
The sources said the shock hit a delegation of Hamas after the rejection, as they expected the approval...
The sources said that the Egyptian side emphasized that they would not help foster the continued division [between the PA and Hamas].
It appears that while the new Egypt is more conciliatory towards Hamas, they are not willing to throw the PA under a bus as Hamas expected.
