The Gaza Strip based terrorist group Hamas and Fatah, the party of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, announced Thursday that they have reached an agreement on holding Palestinian elections. According to AFP, Palestinian officials confirmed that parliamentary and presidential elections are to be held in Gaza and the West Bank within six months.
The decision was reportedly made after delegates representing Abbas and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh held talks in Istanbul. Other available reports on the matter do not provide an exact timeline for the elections but say Abbas is to issue a decree on the matter in the coming days. The PA leader is slated to address the United Nations General Assembly, he is speculated to announce the elections there in a move that would largely mirror his announcement from last year's world summit.
