Fatah, Hamas to meet soon on pact implementation

CAIRO | Wed May 4, 2011

(Reuters) - Leaders of the Islamist Hamas group will meet Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas next week to start work on implementing their Egyptian-brokered reconciliation deal, a senior Hamas official said on Wednesday.

"We will have a meeting with President Abu Mazen (Abbas) next week, possibly in Cairo to kick-start the procedures for the reconciliation," Hamas deputy leader Moussa Abu Marzouk said in Cairo after the main Palestinian factions ceremonially endorsed the deal, envisaging a unity government and elections.
