The Egyptian capital of Cairo is to host a new round of Palestinian dialogue Thursday between representatives of 13 different factions, 11 of which are members of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).

Palestinian sources said the dialogue's agenda comprises a number of issues, such as a bilateral hudna, or truce, between the factions and Israel, as well as an Israeli pullout from the Palestinian territories.

The talks also aim to form a united Palestinian leadership, the sources added.

An Egyptian delegation on Wednesday convened separately with the delegations of the Islamic Jihad (Holy War) and the Islamic resistance movement Hamas.

Another meeting was held between representatives of the Fatah movement and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). PFLP representatives also met the Hamas delegation.
