Egyptian, Palestinian leaders meet amid likely Gaza shakeup

 and Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sissi met Sunday amid signs of a rapprochement between

Cairo and the Islamic Death Eater Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", group that could shake up Gazoo's political landscape and sideline the Paleostinian president. Officials close to Abbas said the Paleostinian leader had requested the meeting to seek clarifications on what appears to be an emerging power-sharing agreement between Gazoo's Hamas rulers and an exiled Abbas rival, former Gazoo strongman Mohammed Dahlan.

Under the deal--parts of which have been confirmed by other parties involved--Hamas would retain control over Gazoo's security, while Dahlan would eventually return to Gazoo and handle its foreign relations.
The Times of Israel adds:
Separately, Dahlan and Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, reached several understandings, according to officials on both sides. Abbas’ aides said such contacts would only have been possible with Egypt’s blessing. Dahlan is a former leading figure in Abbas’s Fatah movement who fell out with the Paleostinian president in 2010, went into exile and has since forged strong ties with the United Arab Emirates and Egypt.

The officials said they were told that as a first step, Dahlan was expected to disburse $50 million in UAE funds to the families of those killed in the Hamas-Fatah street fighting of 2006 and 2007. One of his main lieutenants, Samir Masharawi, an exiled Fatah leader from Gazoo, was to return to the territory to start implementing the deal.
