哈馬斯領導人宣佈與法塔赫達成政治和解

The Palestinian Hamas faction says it has reached a deal with its rival Fatah over its political reconciliation.

Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh issued a statement Thursday saying the two sides had struck an agreement after two days of talks in Cairo, under what he called Egypt's "generous" sponsorship. Haniyeh said details of the agreement would be announced later in the day in the Egyptian capital.

A Fatah spokesman confirmed the announcement in an interview with the French News Agency ((Agence France Presse)).

The agreement follows last month's decision by the militant Hamas faction to allow Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah movement to reassume control of Gaza. Hamas has governed the strip and its two million residents since 2007, when it fought a short civil war with Fatah. The two sides agreed to form a unity government in 2014, but Hamas has continued to oversee Gaza with its administrative body.

Israel has blockaded Gaza for a decade, and its border with Egypt has also remained largely closed in recent years, leaving Gaza's economy in shambles.巴勒斯坦的哈馬斯派系說，它同對立派系法塔赫達成了政治和解的協議。

哈馬斯領導人哈尼亞星期四發表聲明說，在埃及的熱心撮合下，雙方在開羅會談兩天後達成協議。哈尼亞說，協議細節星期四晚些時候將在埃及首都開羅公佈。

法塔赫發言人在接受法新社採訪時證實了哈馬斯的宣佈。

激進的哈馬斯派系上個月決定，允許巴勒斯坦權力機構主席阿巴斯的法塔赫收回加沙的控制權。哈馬斯2007年與法塔赫短暫開戰，自那以來一直控制着加沙及其200萬居民。雙方2014年同意組建一個團結政府，但是哈馬斯一直通過其行政機構管理加沙。

以色列10年來一直封鎖加沙。近年來，加沙與埃及的邊界也一直基本處於關閉狀態，使加沙的經濟百孔千瘡。
