Hamas and Fatah strike deal to reunite West Bank with Gaza

PALESTINE’S occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip were set to reunite yesterday after Hamas accepted a Fatah party deal.

Details of the offer emerged on Wednesday when Fatah Central Committee member Jamal Muheisen told Voice of Palestine radio that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas met a Hamas delegation at Ramallah in the West Bank on Tuesday.

Mr Abbas told the delegation that he would lift all measures imposed against Gaza if Hamas agreed to dissolve the rival Administrative Committee it formed in the besieged enclave in March.
