Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said that his country would intensify efforts to regain the Palestinian unity, the official SANA news agency reported.
President al-Assad made the remarks while meeting with the politburo leader of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement, or Hamas, Khaled Meshaal.
Syria supports the Palestinian negotiating stance and the return of their legitimate rights, on top of the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital, President al-Assad asserted.
Meshaal thanked President al-Assad for the aid offered by Syria to the Palestinian people and its efforts to regain unity among the Palestinians and lift the siege imposed on Gaza, SANA reported.
