"I believe that a declaration on the formation of a Palestinian national unity government will be issued very soon," Ahmed Qurei, who is also former Palestinian prime minister, told reporters after a meeting with Syrian Vice President Farouk al-Shara.

Qurei denied any disagreements between his Fatah movement and the ruling Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), saying they are both in continuous dialogue.

The Palestinian ex-premier also expressed confidence that the Israeli siege on the Palestinian people would be lifted as soon as a unity government is formed, noting that there are contacts with international sides on this matter.

"We, as Palestinians, have to reach an agreement among us and then demand the world to end the siege," he added.

Meanwhile, Qurei hailed Syria's stances on the Palestinian issue, saying that "Everything we heard during this meeting proves that Syria is ready for every support the Palestinians ask for in this domain."

According to the official SANA news agency, Qurei relayed to Shara a letter from Abbas to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on the latest developments on the Palestinian arena.

Qurei arrived here Sunday evening and met with Shara after a meeting with exiled Hamas politburo chief Khaled Meshaal.
