Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh announced on Sunday that an agreement had been reached with Palestinian Authority (PA) chairman Mahmoud Abbas on holding the parliamentary and presidential elections.

The PA parliament has not met since 2007, when Hamas violently seized control of Gaza from Abbas’ Fatah faction.
