Hamas announced on Sunday 26 Elul, night that they were prepared to begin reconciliation talks with the Fatah movement and intended to go with it until a general election was held in the Palestinian Authority.

At the meetings of the senior members of the Gaza terror organization, they made it clear that if they were accepted, they would dismantle the executive committee in Gaza to form a unity government that would also include the Fatah led by Mahmoud Abbas.

It is pointed out that since Hamas unseated the Fatah government in Gaza, several efforts towards unity between the rival actions were attempted but they all failed.
