Most Palestinians representatives have left Cairo following a week-long intensive talks in a bid to reach an inter-Palestinian reconciliation, a Palestinian official said on Tuesday.
"The delegates, including independents and most members of Palestinian factions' delegations, have left for home in the Palestinian territories," said an official of the Palestinian Fatah movement on condition of anonymity.
Only the leading figures of the Palestinian delegations, who are members of a higher committee to deal with the pending issues related to the Palestinian reconciliation, still stay in Cairo for more talks, the Fatah member said.
On March 10, five Palestinian committees started to work in Cairo under the sponsorship of Egypt on different issues related to the Palestinian reconciliation.
The five committees are assigned to deal with the issues of forming a Palestinian national unity government, reforming the security services, holding elections, reforming the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and pushing forward reconciliation.
The five committees have reportedly concluded their work and presented the pending issues to the higher committee for more discussion.
The Palestinian factions have made big progress during the talks, but a number of obstacles still remain, particularly on the formation of a New Government.
Fatah wants the would-be government to commit to the PLO obligations, which is seen by Fatah's rival Hamas movement as recognition of Israel.
Hamas has rejected to abide by the PLO commitments, but said it respects them.
The higher supervision and guidance committee has begun to meet on the pending issues.
