Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. (Reuters) Last update - 11:44 16/06/2008 Officials: Abbas envoys to brief Gaza Fatah men on Hamas talks By Reuters Tags: Hamas, Fatah, Gaza Strip  Envoys from Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement will visit the Gaza Strip on Tuesday to brief Fatah members there on his bid to cement reconciliation with its rival Hamas, a Fatah leader in the West Bank said. Hikmat Zeid told Reuters on Monday that the delegation would be the first mission by representatives of the secular and Western-backed faction to Gaza since Hamas took over the territory a year ago in a violent confrontation with Fatah forces that triggered a schism with Abbas. "We want to brief our brothers in Fatah about the president's initiative," Zeid said, adding that the delegation had no plans to meet the Hamas administration in Gaza.
