    GAZA, Nov. 14 (Xinhua) -- Islamic Hamas movement on Saturday said it is unaware of Egypt's intention to resume Palestinian national dialogue next month.

    "We have not received invitation for any meeting so far," said Sami Abu Zuhri, a Hamas spokesman. "We also say that there is nothing new regarding the reconciliation file and we don't know about an imminent resumption of the dialogue," he told Xinhua.

    Earlier, an official from Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party told reporters that Egypt will resume its efforts to broker a reconciliation pact between Hamas and Fatah early in December.

    "I was informed about that by the Egyptian intelligence chief Omar Suleiman," said Saeb Erekat, a member of Fatah Central Committee.

    Cairo suspended its efforts to reunite the Palestinian rivals in October after Hamas rejected an Egyptian proposal to reconcile with Fatah to end the political split in the Palestinian territories.
