Delegations from rival Palestinian factions Fatah and Hamas are scheduled to arrive in Cairo today for Egypt-mediated talks on Tuesday, Ahram Gate reports. During the meetings, officials will attempt to iron out some of the points of disagreement between the two sides in order to move forward with the reconciliation process and ease the blockade on Gaza. President Abdel Fattah El Sisi stressed the importance of helping both sides achieve amity, saying yesterday that it will lay the groundwork for the Palestinian-Israeli peace process, according to an Ittihadiya statement. The Times of Israel also took note.
