Fatah and Hamas Meet in Gaza

Representatives from Fatah and Hamas have come together for the first time since Hamas took control of Gaza in the 2007 elections. Senior Hamas officials Khalil al-Haya and Ayman Taha met with Fatah’s Nabil Shaath, chief negotiator in the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks. Both sides believe the meeting is an important step towards achieving national reconciliation, stating, “this meeting opened a horizon on which bilateral relations between Fatah and Hamas can move forward.”
