The meeting featured key figures from both groups: Khalil al-Haya representing Hamas and Mahmoud al-Aloul from Fatah. Sources involved in the negotiations reported a constructive atmosphere, with an emphasis on meaningful proposals aimed at fostering collaboration between the two factions.
A primary focus of the discussions was the urgent need for unity among Palestinians, especially in the face of ongoing conflicts and severe humanitarian challenges.
