Palestinian government to visit Gaza in reunification step

None

RAMALLAH -- Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah will travel from the West Bank to the Gaza Strip on Tuesday of next week in a step toward reconciliation with the rival Hamas militant group.

   

Hamas welcomed Hamdallah's announcement on Monday, and the United Nations offered to help.

 

Hamas offered this month to cede control to Abbas' government. But many thorny issues, including the fate of Hamas' armed forces, remain unresolved.
