Palestinian ambassador to Algeria Fayez Abu Aita told the Voice of Palestine radio that a new round of talks between representatives of factions already kicked off in Algiers as a prelude to holding an extensive meeting for the participating factions in early October.

Abu Aita expressed hope that the Algerian efforts could succeed in having the factions to agree on a consensus formula that achieves the national unity and ends the long-time division in the Palestinian arena.

Last Sunday, a high-level delegation from the Hamas Movement led by head of its Arab and Islamic relations office Khalil al-Hayya arrived in the Algerian capital. (ILKHA)
