Palestinian rivals head to Cairo for reconciliation talks
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePalestinian rivals Fatah and Hamas dispatched teams to Egypt on Monday for talks in a renewed push to end their decade-long split after a key breakthrough last week.
Senior figures in terrorist organization Hamas and secular party Fatah will meet in the Egyptian capital tomorrow as they seek to end a division that has crippled Palestinian politics.
Senior Fatah figures attending the Cairo talks include intelligence chief Majed Faraj and Fayez Abu Eita, a party leader in the Gaza Strip, Palestinian official news agency Wafa says.
Hamas, which runs the Gaza Strip, and the West Bank-based Fatah of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas have been at odds since they fought a near civil war in 2007.
