Fatah and Hamas announced Monday that they had reached another reconciliation agreement to end their differences - this time under the auspices of Qatar. According to the new accord, dubbed the Doha Declaration, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas would serve as interim prime minister of a unity government consisting of independent figures. The government's main mission, the agreement stipulates, would be to prepare for presidential and parliamentary elections and rebuild the Gaza Strip. No date has been set for the new elections. But some Palestinians said that the vote would take place 90 days after the formation of the new government. Other Palestinians predicted that the elections would be held later this year.
