RAMALLAH, June 16, 2016 (WAFA) – The Palestinian Arabic dailies focused on Thursday on a meeting which gathered Hamas and Fatah officials in Doha, in an effort to push forward intra-Palestinian reconciliation talks.

They said two delegations from Hamas and Fatah parties gathered in Doha, the capital of Qatar, on Wednesday evening for talks on achieving Palestinian national reconciliation.

Meanwhile, al-Ayyam and al-Hayat al-Jadida said the Israeli municipality of West Jerusalem approved a plan to build a settlement building in the Jerusalem neighborhood district of Silwan.
