Two more Palestinian factions are expected to visit Cairo for talks with Egyptian officials this weekend in a bid to end the current inter-Palestinian crisis, the Egyptian MENA news agency reported on Thursday.
Delegations from the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) will arrive in Cairo on Aug. 31 for the talks, said the report.
The Egyptian mediators, led by Egypt's intelligence chief Omar Suleiman, will discuss with the two Palestinian delegations its vision on the best solution for the current inter-Palestinian friction, the report quoted a PFLP official as saying.
The talks will also stress the importance of hammering out a settlement that is based on consensus on the formation of a transitional government to reunite the Palestinian political and governmental institutions, said the official.
According to earlier reports, a delegation of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement led by its Secretary General Ramadan Shallah left Cairo on Thursday after a several days' visit.
On Monday, Suleiman held talks with the Islamic Jihad delegation, starting a series of bilateral talks with Palestinian factions in order to hammer out a unified stance among Palestinians to overcome the current inter-Palestinian crisis.
Following the bilateral meetings, Egypt will then oversee a comprehensive Palestinian dialogue to help the Palestinians get out of the current crisis and rifts among rival movements.
In the past months, Egypt has been trying to broker a Palestinian reconciliation after it succeeded in brokering a ceasefire in June between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas movement which rules Gaza.
