The Syrian Foreign Ministry issued a statement Saturday saying Damascus "welcomed the agreement reached between the Palestinian factions."
According to State-run Sana news agency, Syria believed the treaty was "a major victory for the Palestinian people's cause."
The statement further said that: "Syria welcomes the positive outcomes of the efforts exerted to realize the Palestinian reconciliation… and considers the oncoming signing of the reconciliation agreement as a great victory to the Palestinian people's cause in their just struggle to liberate the occupied lands and restore the rights, an issue Syria has sought and worked for its achievement.
"While Syria blesses and supports the agreement among the Palestinian brothers; it highly appreciates the positive role played by Egypt and at the same time hopes for more Palestinian steps to carry out what has been agreed upon," said the statement.
