The Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas received Sunday a Greek Orthodox delegation, headed by Archbishop Alexios of the Church of Saint Porphyrius in Gaza. 

Received by member of Hamas Political Bureau in Gaza, Basem Naim, along with a number of Hamas officials, the delegation that included Father Silas, pastor of Gaza's Orthodox Church, conveyed their congratulations on the advent of the Eid al-Fitr holiday. 

Naim welcomed such important visit, conveying the Hamas leadership's regards to Christian Palestinians.  

"Our Palestinian people are sending a message to the whole world that they are capable of presenting a model of co-existence between Muslims and Christians," Naim added.   

Archbishop Alexios, in turn, hailed the co-existence between all segments of the Palestinian people. 

Meanwhile, Father Silas said that such visit "confirms that we, as Palestinians, either Muslims and Christians, are united behind a joint cause."
