Palestine — Fatah & Israel

Palestine — Fatah: Palestine — Fatah is mentioned as the rival movement to Hamas, with one of its high-profile members, Marwan Barghouti, being sought for release by Hamas.

Israel: Israel agreed to the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire, which involves withdrawing troops to an agreed line and releasing 2,000 Palestinian prisoners. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed the government would approve the deal to bring hostages home.

Palestine — Fatah: Palestine — Fatah, the dominant political party, approved the new position of PLO vice president. The move is unlikely to improve Palestine — Fatah's image among many Palestinians who view it as closed, corrupt, and disconnected.
