Hamas ready for talks with Fatah to dissolve Gaza government & hold elections

‘Hamas has agreed to talks with rival Fatah movement, to dissolve the Gaza administrative committee and hold general elections as a way to implement a deal to end their long-running feud, the group said in a statement on Sunday.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ Palestinian Authority, controlled by Fatah, fought a war with Hamas over Gaza in 2007, which led to Hamas taking over.
Attempts to reconcile the two and form a power-sharing unity government in Gaza and the West Bank have repeatedly failed.
Hamas said in its statement that it agreed to dissolve the administration running Gaza, allow the reconciliation government to carry out its duties in the territory, to hold elections and enter talks with Fatah.
On September 11, Hamas announced that it was ready to “hold meetings with Fatah in Cairo immediately to achieve a [reconciliation] agreement.”
Two days later, a senior Fatah official said Hamas must fulfill a series of conditions before any meeting can take place.
“There will be no meetings or dialogues” until Hamas announces the dissolution of its governing body in the Gaza Strip and enables the Palestinian Authority government to assume responsibility in its place, Fatah Central Committee member Azzam al-Ahmad told official PA radio.’
