Hamas, Fatah resume conciliation dialogue in Damascus

DAMASCUS, Nov 9 (KUNA) -- Officials from Palestinian Hamas and Fatah movements resumed their second session of inter-Palestinian conciliation dialogue here Tuesday amidst hopes of acheiving a breakthrough ending the state of division.
Hamas Deputy Politburo Moussa Abu Marzouq and head of Fatah bloc in the Palestinian Legislative Council Azzam Al-Ahmad co-chaired the talks.
Both sides will discuss security issues, like the formation of a joint security committee which would be assigned to place the security policy of the security bodies in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
It is still unknown if there will be a joint statement out of the meeting.
The two factions -- during past conciliation talks -- have already resolved major sticky points, elections committee, elections court and a commission tasked with activating PLO's institutions. (pickup previous) om.bs KUNA 092139 Nov 10NNNN
