Leaders of the Islamic group Hamas and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah movement will hold new unity talks in Cairo this Wednesday (9), a Hamas official told Reuters.
According to Taher Al-Nono, media advisor to the political head of Hamas, the Hamas delegation arrived in Cairo on Tuesday (8). It was led by Khalil Al-Hayya, the group’s chief negotiator and second-in-command of Hamas, currently based in Qatar.
“The meeting will discuss Israeli aggression in the Gaza Strip and the challenges facing the Palestinian cause,” Nono said.
There was no immediate comment from Fatah.
The meeting will be the first in months since the two groups held talks in the Chinese capital in July, agreeing on measures to form a unity government. Similar rounds in the past have so far failed to make progress.
The issue of managing post-war Gaza is one of the thorniest issues facing the Palestinians, and both factions said it was an internal matter, rejecting any Israeli conditions.
Israel promised that it would not accept any role for Hamas in post-war Gaza. And he says he also doesn’t trust the Palestinian Authority led by Abbas to do the job.
