| [IsraelTimes] Representatives of Hamas and Fatah recently held a series of unusual meetings in the Gaza Strip aimed at reaching understandings on a number of Palestinian issues, Egyptian newspaper Al-Shorouk reports. According to the report, the two Palestinian groups discussed formulating a vision regarding Hamas’s weapons, as well as a central and active role for the Palestinian Authority in governing the Strip. A senior Hamas official apparently tells the paper that the terror group expressed willingness to cooperate with the Ramallah-based Palestinian Authority and transfer to it all governing powers in Gaza. A Fatah official adds that the atmosphere in the discussions in Gaza were markedly more positive on this occasion, and notes that this was the first round of negotiations held between field-level representatives inside the Strip itself. Hamas ousted Fatah, which controls the PA, from Gaza in a violent coup in 2007. |
