Countries Working To Get Fatah Members In Gaza Permission To Attend Fatah Conference In Bethlehem

Palestinian sources say that countries with good relations with Hamas, such as Turkey and Russia, are working to make it possible for Fatah members to leave Gaza to attend Fatah's sixth conference, to be held in Bethlehem.

At the same time, senior Fatah officials are calling for compliance with conditions set by Hamas for Fatah members to attend the conference, and to free the Hamas prisoners held in the West Bank.
