The Guardian – Egypt will host talks between rival Palestinian factions within days, followed by indirect negotiations between Palestinians and Israelis on the cease-fire in Gaza, the state news agency Mena said on Saturday.
The report quoted an Egyptian official as saying that delegations from the Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah faction and the Islamic militant group Hamas, which dominates Gaza, would meet on Monday “to complete the Palestinian reconciliation.”
