After years of conflict, finally a unity deal was signed between Palestinian movements of Hamas and Fatah in the Egyptian capital city of Cairo.

During the annual meeting of the Yasser Arafat Foundation in Cairo, Arab league secretary general Amr Moussa congratulated the Palestinian people for the reconciliation signed between the Hamas and Fatah factions. According to Moussa, the agreement will end the political divisions between the two sides.

During the meeting, both parties praised the Palestinian reconciliation asserting that it will hasten developments and will inevitably bring victory over the occupiers. They also said that the new pact ended the four year old rift that has divided the rival faction.

The officials also stressed on the pivotal role of the Arab league to translate this agreement on the ground, and to provide all necessary support to restore the unity of the Palestinian decision.

Observers say the agreement signed by Fatah & Hamas, covers all points of contention, including forming a transitional government, and the restructuring of the Palestine Liberation Organization in order to allow Hamas to join it.
