Ma’an News Agency reports: Hamas chief Khaled Meshaal said Sunday that it was time for his party and their Fatah rivals to put their mistakes behind them.

“Hamas can’t live without Fatah and other factions, neither can Fatah live without Hamas,” the exiled party chief, on his first visit to the Gaza Strip, said during a ceremony at the Islamic University in Gaza.

“We made mistakes against each other but God puts our wrongdoing behind us, so let’s forgive each other,” Meshaal said.

Palestine is greater than any one faction, he continued.
