Senior Hamas official arrives in Gaza for reconciliation talks

GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Senior Hamas official Mousa Abu Marzouq arrived in Gaza
via the Rafah crossing on Monday, where he was welcomed by a delegation of
Hamas and Fatah officials.

The senior official, who is based in Egypt, arrived in the besieged
territory for reconciliation talks with a delegation of PLO officials.

Senior Fatah official Azzam al-Ahmad, secretary general of the Palestinian
People's Party, Bassam al-Salhi, secretary general of the Palestinian
National Initiative, Mustafa al-Barghouthi, secretary general of the
Palestinian Arab Front, Jamil Shehada, and businessman Munib al-Masri are
due to arrive in Gaza over the next 48 hours.

Abu Marzouq will join other Hamas officials at the home of Gaza PM Ismail
Haniyeh for pre-meeting discussions.

The division between Fatah and Hamas began in 2006, when Hamas won the
Palestinian legislative elections.

In the following year, clashes erupted between the two factions, leaving
Hamas in control of Gaza and Fatah in control of parts of the occupied West
Bank.

The factions have made failed attempts at national reconciliation for years,
most recently in 2012, when they signed two agreements -- one in Cairo and a
subsequent one in Doha -- which have as of yet been entirely unimplemented.
