KHARTOUM, (PIC)--

Khaled Mesha'al, the supreme Hamas leader, conferred with Sudanese president Omar Al-Bashir in Khartoum on Wednesday evening over internal Palestinian political crisis.

The Hamas delegation led by Mesha'al briefed Bashir on the Movement's opinions regarding means of solving the internal crisis.

A Hamas media statement said that the visit fell in line with a tour for the Hamas Movement in a number of Arab and Islamic countries to explain its views towards the Palestinian impasse along with latest Palestinian developments.

Hamas sources told PIC that the Hamas delegates asserted to Bashir their Movement's insistence on dialogue as the sole way out of the current crisis.

They said that the delegates also expressed Hamas's readiness to exert all efforts possible to ensure success of such a dialogue and to reach a compromise agreement that would protect the national project and lay down the groundwork for a more mature and stable stage in the Palestinian internal political life.

The sources said that the discussions also reviewed Arab, Islamic and international initiatives and efforts to push forward the comprehensive national dialogue to heal the current crisis. The debates also tackled PA chief Mahmoud Abbas's refusal of national dialogue, and the illegal edicts he was issuing to deepen the division between the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
