Main Palestinian formations gathered in Egypt to try to end their divisions that have lasted for seventeen years. The two main parties have been at odds since the 2006 elections in Gaza, won by Hamas, which led to violent clashes in 2007. Islamic Jihad decided to boycott the meeting in protest at Mahmoud Abbas's political arrests by the Palestinian Authority. The Palestinian leadership have decided to form a committee to continue the dialogue.
