Hamas has reportedly agreed to join the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) following talks between Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in Cairo on Thursday.
The Associated Press reported the Islamist movement will join the PLO, an umbrella Palestinian organization that was once the main representative of Palestinians, but has been overshadowed in recent years by divisions between Hamas and Fatah.
Hamas has never been a member of the PLO, and its admission into the organization is part of a number of reconciliation steps taken towards forming a unity government with Fatah.
