Representatives of six Palestinian factions, including Fatah and Hamas, are expected to hold talks in Algeria later this week on ways of achieving “national reconciliation.” The intra-Palestinian talks will be held under the auspices of Algerian President Abdelmajid Tebboune, who recently invited the factions to Algeria. In addition to Fatah and Hamas, representatives of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP), Popular Front – General Command and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) are also expected to participate in the discussions.
The Fatah delegation is headed by Azzam al-Ahmed, a member of the Fatah Central Committee, while the Hamas team is led by Khalil al-Hayya, a member of the group’s politburo. Previous attempts by Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Egypt and Qatar to achieve Palestinian “national reconciliation” have been unsuccessful. A number of reconciliation agreements signed between Fatah and Hamas since 2007 have also failed to materialize.
