A senior Fatah movement official asserted on Monday that the inter-reconciliation dialogue with rival Hamas movement hasn't failed, but was postponed for consultations.

Nabil Amer, ambassador of the Palestinian National Authority in Egypt, told the state-run Palestinian TV in Ramallah that the last round of dialogue held in Cairo last week won't be the last and there will be more.

"No one dares to say that the dialogue has reached to a deadlock because our people usually rejects anything that contradicts with the national unity and with the constructive dialogue," said Amer.

Delegations representing the two movements decided last week to postpone the dialogue until April 26, after they failed to overcome differences on core issues, mainly the one related to forming a transitional unity government.

The other outstanding issues they failed to overcome are related to the system of the upcoming elections, the reform of Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the rebuilding of the security forces.

The two sides have also disagreed on forming a steering committee that observes the implementation of the agreement. Fatah insisted that the PLO should be the umbrella for watching the implementation of any agreement.

Meanwhile, senior Fatah leader Nabil Shaath said in a press statement sent to reporters in Cairo that the doors for the renewal of the Palestinian dialogue are still opened.

"The opportunity for reaching an agreement during the coming round of talks is still good in order to declare a reconciliation and turn the page of inter-Palestinian rift," said Shaath.

He added that there is a desire among the conferees from all parties to resume the dialogue, "but unfortunately, Hamas movement is discussing the same ideas that it had since the beginning of the dialogue."

Hamas still rejects the international Quartet requirements -- recognizing Israel, the signed agreements and condemning violence -- in order to recognize any formed new Palestinian government.
