Hamas says ready to reconcile with Fatah with no conditions
2017-09-12
It is necessary to keep both Egypt and Iran happy, so meaningless gestures must be made.
[Ynet] Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, says it is ready to talk reconciliation with the rival government of Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas

without preconditions.

Hamas had previously demanded that Abbas halt a series of measures taken against the Islamic Lion of Islam group before sitting down to discuss a reconciliation deal.

Abbas cut electricity in Gazoo and slashed the salaries of tens of thousands of public servants in a bid to compel Hamas to dissolve a contentious committee it formed to run the territory in defiance of Abbas' government.

In a statement Monday following a meeting with Egyptian officials in Cairo, the group said it was prepared to dissolve the committee.

The rival Paleostinian factions split in 2007 when Hamas violently routed forces loyal to Abbas from Gazoo. Repeated attempts at reconciliation have since failed.
