The coup and division that occurred on us, Alamein | Palestine | coup, must come to an end
According to Agence France Presse on July 30th, opposing Palestinian political leaders held talks in the Egyptian coastal city of Aleman on July 30th and decided to establish a Palestinian internal reconciliation committee.
According to reports, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Hamas leader Ismail Haniya, and representatives of multiple Palestinian political factions held a rare face-to-face meeting in Oman.
The report points out that this latest attempt at reconciliation aims to eliminate the differences between the two parallel governments of Hamas and the Palestinian National Authority. Hamas controls the blocked Gaza Strip, while the Palestinian National Authority - controlled by the secular Fatah movement led by Abbas - manages the West Bank region.
According to reports, participants revealed that earlier that day, Hania called on Abbas to end "security cooperation" and "political arrests" with Israel.
The Hamas leader also said that "a new inclusive parliament must be formed on the basis of free and democratic elections.".
On July 30th, Palestinian people held a rally in southern Gaza, calling for an end to internal confrontation.
Hamas, which won the 2006 Palestinian parliamentary elections, has repeatedly called for general elections.

Abbas said, "The coup and division that happened to us... must come to an end." He referred to the conflict between Hamas and Fatah after the 2006 elections.
Abbas also said, "We must return to a single country, a single system, a single law, and a single legitimate army."
In order to achieve this, the 87 year old president announced the establishment of a committee to continue dialogue... to end division and achieve Palestinian national unity.
Abbas also called for "peaceful popular resistance," while Hania advocated for "comprehensive resistance.".
Palestinian political scientist Muhammad Abu Sada believes that the establishment of a reconciliation commission is not yet a reason for celebration. He doubts whether this move can make progress in ending the division or setting a date for Palestinian elections.
The meeting that day was held against the backdrop of the resurgence of violent activities in the Israeli Palestinian conflict, especially in the West Bank region occupied by Israel since 1967.
