Hamas and Fatah met other factions in Cairo under Egyptian sponsorship and agreed to continue national dialogue on forming Palestinian institutions.

• Hamas announced its delegation, led by Zaher Jabarin, concluded the dialogue round in Cairo with Fatah, Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front.
• The factions agreed to continue dialogue until reaching common understandings on national issues, including rebuilding and reforming the Palestine Liberation Organization.

• Rajoub warned that continued pressure in the West Bank would lead to an explosion.
