Egypt denies accepting Hamas request to amend pact
None
Egypt will not amend a pact written to reconcile rival Palestinian movements and the Islamist Hamas should join Fatah in signing it, Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit said on Saturday.
"Egypt has no inclination nor is it ready to allow for any amendments to this document either in the form of direct changes made to it or even as an appendix," Aboul Gheit told reporters. (Reuters)
