Palestinian leaders are meeting in Cairo today to discuss the occupied territories’ first elections in fifteen years.

 

President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah will negotiate with Hamas and twelve other political groups to plan against interference and assure the safety of voters in Israeli-occupied East Jerusalem.

 

Palestine’s political landscape has been fraught with conflict since the last elections in 2006, which Hamas won in an "unexpected landslide" and Fatah refuses to acknowledge.
