Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas stressed on Saturday his respect for the will of the Egyptian people, as well as Palestinian support for the army roadmap.

Interim president Adly Mansour sent a letter to Abbas late on Saturday, delivered by Yasser Osman, Egyptian ambassador to Palestine, to the Presidency headquarters in Ramallah. Al-Tayeb Abdul Rahim, secretary general of the Palestinian presidency, attended the meeting.

The letter included the latest developments in Egypt and the roadmap that political groups agreed upon, reported state-owned MENA news agency.

Abbas also discussed the developments in the Palestinian arena with Osman, including US Secretary of State John Kerry’s efforts to resume Palestinian-Israeli negotiations.

Osman said the letter stressed the “depth and strength of brotherly relations between the people and leadership of the two countries” according to Palestinian news agency Maan.
