News from Al-Madinah: Put an end to the years-long division that was intended to end with the signing of the Palestinian factions to the “Algeria Declaration” on rapprochement.
According to media reports, the government of national unity was not included in the deal that all Palestinian factions in Algeria signed.
Mahmoud Abbas, the president of the Palestinian Authority, insisted on keeping the phrase “adherence to international legitimacy” in the clause relating to the government of national unity, which, according to media reports, nearly caused the agreement to collapse. However, the factions could agree to remove the entire clause.
It was decided to have both domestic and international elections for the Palestinian National Council. Within a year of the date the “Declaration of Algeria” was signed, using the proportional representation method and with the involvement of all Palestinian factions. The agreement also stipulated that general elections for the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and occupied Jerusalem would take place no later than a year after the accord’s signing.
In addition, “the unification of Palestinian national institutions, the recruitment of energies and resources available to implement reconstruction projects and support the infrastructure and social infrastructure of the Palestinian people, in a way that supports their steadfastness in the face of the Israeli occupation, were included in the declaration.
” The announcement indicated the activation of “the mechanism of the general secretaries of the factions to follow up the end of the division and the achievement of national unity and the national political partnership. ”
In coordination with the Palestinians, an Algerian-Arab team will administer this team and supervise the implementation of the agreement’s terms.
The Palestinian groups anticipate announcing reconciliation under Algerian leadership after years of conflict.
