Palestinian Factions Agree on Unity

According to Al Jazeera, "Palestinian factions have agreed to establish five committees to address key issues for unity." The article discusses the talks between 12 Palestinian factions, which began on Thursday.

One of the issues being discussed was the idea of forming a unity government, which would be created to help with rebuilding institutions, security services, reconciliation, and est. presidential and legislative elections.

They believe that they will begin work on March 10 for the remainder of the month. The hope is to use this unity government to reconstruct Gaza after the 23 day strikes Israel had ensued.

This picture depicts that even though the 23 day air strike is over, both Palestinians and Israelis are still attacking one another.

One quote taken from the article in reference to this being a breakthrough, "The agreement today on these five committees and that these committees will take decisions unanimously, it wont be a voting system ... and every party will respect it is a breakthrough."

The hope is that these groups would be able to compromise for the sake of their people and their nation.
