Egypt delivered invitations Sunday to a summit meeting of all factions in the Palestinian Authority (PA) territories, along with a draft plan for ending the prolonged crisis between Hamas and Fatah, high-ranking sources told Arab news organization Ma'an, which is based in Bethlehem.

The “comprehensive national dialogue” meeting is set for November 9 in Cairo.

The officials said that the Egyptian draft calls for the creation of a new PA unity government. The new government's tasks would include ending "the blockade (of the Gaza Strip)", easing daily life, preparations for presidential and legislative elections, and reforming the security forces in order to “defend land and civilians.”

Sanctity of blood
The plan also calls for reforming the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in accordance with the 2005 Cairo agreement and empowering it to conduct negotiations with Israel "in adherence with national goals.”

The draft agreement's introduction describes the PA territories in Judea, Samaria and Gaza as being “nationally, geographically and politically" united and mentions the "sanctity of Palestinian blood and the resistance."

According to Ma'an, the draft also mentions “democracy” as a means of rotating authority among leaders.
