Hamas will maybe have talk with Fatah by Nina Gotzmannova

The Palestinian Islamic movement Hamas recently announced, they are ready to sit down in a discussion with their rival, Fatah, major Palestinian political party. Leader of Hamas, Ismail Haniya, posted a statement on his website and revealed some facts they might talk about.Since June 2007 Hamas is controlling Gaza, a coastal strip of land in Izrael. Haniya said that Hamas controlled Gaza only temporarily and they may be willing to give up. This news is especially good for the inhabitants of Gaza, because when the borders were closed, no one was allowed to go in or out. Recently Palestinian students, who are "locked" inside the territory and unable to leave and continue their study abroad, protested against Gaza's blockade. The Fatah movement may welcome this step. Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president stated that Fatah won't discuss anything with Hamas until Hamas won't relinquish Gaza. And the day is finally here. But according to a senior Fatah official they didn't received an invitation to this dialogue, so they are acting as nothing happened. They are right, a statement on a webpage is nothing official, and in this complicated case any mistake can be fatal.There are also sayings from Haniya and other Hamas representatives that Hamas was always prepared to hold a dialogue with Fatah and their intentions are serious. They want to have a meeting in one of the Arab capitals after El ad-Fitr will finish. El ad-Fitr is a festival marking the end of Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Ahmed Yousef, one of the Haniya advisors also added that Hamas never wanted and don't want to make Gaza a separate state.
