PA Prime Minister Invites Hamas Into the PLO Fold for Palestinian Unity
In a significant move toward reconciliation, Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh has extended an olive branch to Hamas, urging the group to join the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). Reporting for The Media Line, Mohammad Al-Kassim highlights the backdrop of strained relations, with the PA governing the West Bank and Hamas ruling Gaza since 2007. Amid US and international pressures for reform and unity, Shtayyeh’s initiative aims to unify Palestinian factions under the PLO’s political framework. The proposal includes comprehensive reforms and a call for Hamas to accept past agreements with Israel, aiming for a unified stance in future negotiations. Critics remain skeptical, questioning the potential for real change. Yet, the dialogue suggests a shift toward inclusivity in Palestinian politics, seeking to mend internal divisions for a stronger collective voice.
