Fatah and Hamas said moving toward finalizing Palestinian reconciliation deal

[oberliner]

A meeting between Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Hamas chief Khaled Meshal is due to take place in November, a Hamas official was quoted as saying on Sunday, as part of an effort to form a Fatah-Hamas unity government.

The rival Palestinian factions have been attempting to put into action a reconciliation agreement brokered by Egypt and signed earlier this year in Cairo.

Israel has rejected the agreement, refusing to negotiate with a government involving Hamas, whose charter calls for the destruction of Israel.

However, attempts to reconcile Hamas and Fatah have hit a wall of late, with Hamas frowning upon Palestinian Authority attempts to gain recognition at the United Nations last month.

1. This is a never ending dance...

The two groups will never trust nor integrate with each other. Hamas killed/injured Fatah members during OCL.
