Palestinian Talks Falter
Efforts to convene a comprehensive Palestinian national meeting have stalled, as Fatah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front have failed to agree on a new date amid disagreements over the political program and reform of the Palestine Liberation Organization’s institutions. Fatah insists on the PLO’s program and says factions should join the organization before discussing its reform. Hamas, meanwhile, calls for the program to be amended and for agreement on reforms before it joins. It has also criticized the appointment of members to the Palestinian National Council without consensus. Egypt is seeking to narrow the differences. Previous understandings included postponing elections until next September and suspending some mechanisms for forming the National Council. Palestinian factions have called for the dialogue and democratic process to succeed and for unity to be strengthened.
