Palestinians say Egypt will postpone unity talks

RAMALLAH, West Bank (Reuters) - Egypt intends to inform Palestinian factions of a plan to postpone reconciliation talks scheduled for this week in Cairo, senior Palestinian officials said in the West Bank and Egypt.

No further date has been set for the talks that had been intended to heal a rift between Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah faction and Islamist Hamas, a feud that erupted into violence last year when Hamas seized power in Gaza.

"Egyptian authorities will inform all factions the national dialogue is postponed. They didn't give a date," one official said in the West Bank, after a dispute arose as to the terms for holding talks that had been scheduled to begin in Cairo on November 10.
