GAZA CITY (Ma’an) -- President Mahmoud Abbas received a formal invitation to
meet his Egyptian counterpart Muhammad Mursi in Cairo next week, a Fatah
official said Wednesday.

The meeting will focus on reconciliation between Abbas' Fatah party and
their Hamas rivals, Fatah official Faysel Abu Shahla told Ma'an.

Fatah welcomes the invitation to resume the reconciliation dialogue, he
said.

Despite signing a number of agreements to reconcile, Fatah and Hamas still
run separate governments in the West Bank and Gaza. They split amid violent
fighting in 2007.
