Efforts to reconcile Fatah's leadership with the reformist current led by Mohammed Dahlan have failed to unite the movement before legislative elections, sources told i24news. Despite potential new meetings in Cairo between Fatah's central committee and Dahlan's faction to find common ground, deep disagreements persist, and previous attempts have largely failed.
Sources indicated that no agreement is expected from the upcoming Cairo talks, as President Mahmoud Abbas has imposed conditions described by Dahlan's supporters as humiliating and politically unacceptable. These conditions reportedly derailed discussions about returning to Fatah and forming a unified electoral list with the Ramallah leadership.
Meanwhile, negotiations are ongoing between Dahlan's faction and Hamas to form a joint electoral list, with an announcement anticipated soon. The article also briefly mentions challenges to the olive harvest season in the West Bank due to settler attacks and economic restrictions.
