13 Palestinian factions to meet in Cairo for reconciliation push
2017-11-20
[IsraelTimes] Leading Paleostinian political factions are to gather on Tuesday in Cairo to push ahead with reconciliation efforts, despite fundamental disputes ahead of a key December 1 deadline.

The talks come as Paleostinians face rising tensions with the United States over the threatened closure of their office in Washington, but this is seen as unlikely to affect the outcome.

Tensions between the two largest Paleostinian groups ‐ Fatah and Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, ‐ have reemerged since they signed a reconciliation deal last month, but delegates hope the meeting of 13 factions could push the bid ahead.

The fate of Hamas’s vast armed wing, however, remains unclear.

#2  All Arabs treat Arabs as fellows,
As shown by our peaceable hellos,
Unless an ill wind
Blows from infidel, djinn,
Or some bum in a minaret's bellows.
