The comments came on Saturday, two days before Hosni Mubarak hosts a regional summit that is seen as an attempt to isolate the group.
Pledging his support for Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president and Fatah leader, Mubarak told senior members of his National Democratic Party: “We follow closely the consequences of the coup against the Palestinian legitimacy [in Gaza] and the damage that it has caused to the Palestinian people.
“We regret shedding Palestinian blood by Palestinian hands in clashes that crossed all the red lines.”
