In April 2011, the Palestinian parties signed an agreement of reconciliation, but its implementation has stalled since.

Fatah is a Palestinian nationalist political party.

It received no funding from any Palestinian political party or faction, and aimed to be independent.

The three women among the Palestinian party said their husbands had simply been told in early September that their work contracts were being terminated.

Such a change will be greatly encouraged by the rise of Israeli and Palestinian parties of compromise.

Perhaps hammas makes you think of the Palestinian political party?

As I said before, we are willing to help but it is up to the Israeli and Palestinian parties to take the first step.

Hamas is expected to control the most important government ministries after weeks of negotiations failed to persuade other Palestinian parties to join its government.

"Hamas wants cooperation with all Palestinian parties and a national agreement on policy."

However, no other Palestinian political parties have announced their intention to participate despite Hamas's invitation to join.
