Ayman Taha, a Hamas spokesman in Gaza, said on Sunday that Hamas and its rival Fatah movement leaders agreed in Yemen to resume dialogue on April 5 in the Palestinian territories.

"Leaders of Hamas and Fatah agreed in Yemen to resume their dialogue on April 5 in the Palestinian territories. The dialogue will be based on the Yemeni initiative for reconciliation," said Taha.

The dialogue between the two movements was severed after Hamas took control of the Gaza Strip and routed President Mahmoud Abbas' security forces in mid-June last year.

"Of course there will be more meetings within the coming a few days between Hamas and Yemeni officials and between Hamas and Fatah to discuss the clauses of the Yemeni initiative," said Taha.
