Fatah Central Committee secretary-general reveals Hamas talks in Turkey, doubts elections - report
According to a source who spoke with the Palestinian Press Network, Rajoub also met with mukhtars, or clan leaders, from the Gaza Strip in an effort to potentially create his own alliance.
The secretary-general of the Fatah Central Committee, Jibril Rajoub, has revealed in a report that he met with Hamas leaders Khalil al-Hayya and Zaher Jabarin in Turkey two weeks ago. Rajoub also met with clan leaders from the Gaza Strip in an attempt to create his own alliance ahead of the scheduled Palestinian Legislative Council elections in November.
Despite his doubts about the elections going ahead, Rajoub called for a meeting of all Palestinian factions to develop a roadmap for national dialogue and reform, with Egyptian support. He emphasized that renewed Palestinian unity is essential for establishing a Palestinian state and addressing the refugee crisis, unifying the Palestinian approach toward Israel, and defining a pluralistic and democratic national identity.
