Hamas said recent attempts to resume reconciliation talks between the Palestinian resistance movement and its rival party, Fatah, are meant to end Israel\u2019s occupation of the West Bank and blockade on the Gaza Strip.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

\n\tQuoting Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh, presstv.ir wrote, “The reconciliation is a will and a decision, to prevent Israel from swallowing up the West Bank and continuing its siege of the Gaza Strip.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFatah and Hamas have been at odds ever since the latter scored a landslide victory in Palestinian parliamentary elections in 2006.<\/p>\n

\n\tHamas governs the Gaza Strip while Fatah has set up offices in the West Bank.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe two rival Palestinian factions finally agreed on a unity government in April 2014, but it fell apart months later.<\/p>\n

\n\tLast month, Hamas announced that it had agreed to dissolve its administrative committee in Gaza, invite the Palestinian Authority led by President Mahmoud Abbas to return to Gaza and hold new elections in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe announcement followed negotiations in Cairo between Hamas leaders and Egyptian officials.<\/p>\n

\n\tPalestinian Authority\u2019s Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah is set to visit Gaza on Monday as part of the reconciliation efforts with Hamas.<\/p>\n

\n\tElsewhere in his statement, Haniyeh hailed the \u2018strategic\u2019 Hamas decision, saying it came \u201cout of a national will and with the support of its political and military power, as well as its steadfast stature facing the siege and the wars, while answering the will of our people for the sake of unity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t“We understand that the inner-Palestinian reconciliation process could be long because of the setbacks along the way, and the fact that there are many issues that require brave decisions, but we are certain that we have started tearing down the wall of separation,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\n\tFollowing the Six-Day War in 1967, Israel occupied the West Bank, East Jerusalem al-Quds, the Gaza Strip and parts of the Golan Heights.<\/p>\n

\n\tIsrael later withdrew from Gaza but has kept the coastal enclave under a crippling siege since 2007.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
