The chairman of Palestinian PLO delegation Azzam al-Ahmad speaks with Ghazi Hamad, a Hamas movement official, upon his arrival at the Palestinian side of the Erez crossing, in the northern Gaza Strip April 22, 2014. Senior Fatah official Azzam al-Ahmad along with four other PLO officials arrived to Gaza Tuesday for talks aimed at reaching a reconciliation agreement between the two rival Palestinian groups, Hamas and Fatah. Palestinians have been divided since 2007 when Hamas took control of the Gaza Strip from forces loyal to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas of Fatah. Since then Hamas rules Gaza while Abbas governs some areas in the West Bank. Several attempts at reconciliation failed. Photo by Mohammed Asad
