Abbas to meet with Egypt’s Sissi amid reports of Hamas deal
|
[IsraelTimes] PA’s envoy to Cairo says leaders to discuss efforts to mend Fatah-Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", rift, amid talk of deal between terror group and PA president’s rival Dahlan.

will travel to Cairo over the weekend to meet with Egyptian leader Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi for "urgent" talks, the PA’s envoy to Egypt said Tuesday, amid tensions over Egypt’s involvement in an internal Paleostinian rift.
In addition, Jamal al-Shobaki said that the two leaders will discuss US efforts to revive peace talks between Israel and the Paleostinians, as well Egyptian efforts to end the ongoing internal "Paleostinian division."
"[Abbas and Sissi] will discuss during the meeting the Paleostinian issue in all of its aspects, in addition to the current conditions the Middle East is going through, as well as the dangerous escalation in settlements in East Jerusalem and the rest of the Paleostinian territories," Shobaki said, according to the PA’s official Wafa news agency.
It was unclear what prompted the need for the talks, but they came on the heels of developments in Gazoo that point to a new government being formed between Hamas and Abbas’s rival in the Fatah party, Mohammad Dahlan.
Dahlan is a former Fatah leader and strongman in Gazoo, who was expelled from the Paleostinian territories by Abbas in 2011. He was also once considered persona non grata by Hamas and ousted in the coup that put the Islamist terror group in power in the Strip 10 years ago.
But according to Hamas leader Ahmad Yusuf, following meetings between Dahlan, Hamas leaders and Egyptian intelligence in early June, a reconciliation deal is in the works.
Yusuf, who spoke to the Jordanian daily al-Ghad on Monday, said the deal between Dahlan and Hamas would see the establishment of a new "management committee" of Gazoo.
Yusuf added that Samir Mashrawi -- considered Dahlan’s right-hand man -- is expected to return to the enclave in the coming days.
