Rivals Fatah and Hamas dispatched
teams to Egypt on Monday for talks in a renewed push to end the
decade-long Palestinian split after a key breakthrough last week.
Senior figures in Islamist
movement Hamas and secular party Fatah will meet in the Egyptian
capital on Tuesday, AFP reports.
Hamas, which runs the Gaza Strip,
and the West Bank-based Fatah of President Mahmoud Abbas have been at
odds since they fought a near civil war in 2007. The split has
complicated any potential peace negotiations with Israel.
