Since Tuesday, two organizations have negotiated an end to ir long hostility under Egypt’s mediation. The point of controversy is rule of radical Islamic Hamas in Gaza Strip, which extremists have been controlling for ten years. Previously, she had been enforced re in armed disputes against moderate Fatah of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
In September, Hamas had announced that it would invite internationally recognized Abbas government to “come to Gaza Strip and take over its duties immediately”.
