Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleRepresentatives of rival Palestinian factions Fatah and Hamas are in Qatar to discuss the prospects of reconciliation, according to the pan-Arab news site Al-Resalah.
The site quotes Fatah Central Committee member Jamal Mohesin as saying his delegation, headed by another official, Azzam al-Ahmad, will meet with Hamas leaders in Doha, the Qatari capital.
Hamas and Fatah, which leads the West Bank’s Palestinian Authority, have been at odds since 2007, when Hamas ousted Fatah from power in the Gaza Strip a year after winning national PA elections.
Efforts at reconciliation have been ongoing for years.
