Al Jazeera, 25 Sep 2020
The two biggest Palestinian factions, Fatah and Hamas, have agreed to hold the first elections in Palestine in nearly 15 years.
Polls will be scheduled within six months under a deal agreed by Fatah, Palestinian Authority (PA) leader Mahmoud Abbas and Hamas political chief Ismail Haniya.
The last parliamentary elections in 2006 saw Hamas win an unexpected majority and led to a conflict with Fatah.
