“We must take immediate steps to agree on the Palestinian National Council’s electoral law and set a date for elections. We have said these measures must be carried out within three months.”-Azzam al-Ahmed, Fatah spokesman

Hamas and Fatah have agreed to form a single Palestinian government.  It’s hoped the new government will be implemented by July.

The two political groups first announced their intentions back in 2011.  The new government will be led by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.  New elections are still in the works.
