Palestinian unity delegates arrive in Egypt

A Palestinian delegation, led by Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestinian [PFLP] member Rabah Mhenna, has entered Egypt, ahead of national reconciliation talks between factions. The delegation is planned to stay in Egypt for several days, where they will meet with top Egyptian security officials in Cairo to discuss Palestinian reconciliation and current developments in the Gaza Strip. A Palestine Liberation Organisation [PLO] meeting has also been slated for Friday. Six delegates, representing Fatah, Hamas and other factions, entered the country via the Rafah crossing, a security source said. Palestinian factions recently signed a reconciliation agreement amid talks supervised by Egyptian authorities. The current meetings, held as Hamas and Fatah exchange accusations that the other is stalling the process, are geared towards implementing the agreement's terms.
