Palestinian Fatah group mulls talks with Hamas
None
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah faction is considering a request to meet with Hamas officials for the first time in months, Fatah officials said on Saturday.
Senior Fatah official Azzam al-Ahmad said Abbas told Fatah members in Amman he had received a report from Egypt on Egyptian-sponsored efforts to heal a rift between the two groups since the Islamists seized Gaza last year. Arab diplomats said Hamas had asked to meet with Fatah on Oct. 25 and, "it is likely Fatah would agree to meet," a senior Fatah official said. (Reuters)
