Palestinian factions on Tuesday inked the Egyptian capital a reconciliation pact that will pave the way for elections within a year, AFP said. Representatives of 13 factions, including Fatah and Hamas, as well as independent political figures signed the agreement following talks with Egyptian officials.
"We signed the deal despite several reservations. But we insisted on working for the higher national interest," said Walid al-Awad, a politburo member of the leftist Palestine People's Party.
