Fatah and Dahlan bloc discuss reconciliation before Palestinian elections

High-level delegations from Fatah and Mohammed Dahlan’s Democratic Reform bloc met in Alamein, Egypt, for reconciliation talks ahead of the upcoming Palestinian legislative elections. The meetings, led by PA Vice President Hussein al-Sheikh and Democratic Reform’s Samir al-Mashharawi, aimed to address potential coalitions forming between Fatah’s rivals, including Hamas. Analysts warn that a united opposition could threaten Fatah’s leadership, particularly as speculation grows over succession plans given President Mahmoud Abbas’s age.
