Dahlan reveals controversial Hamas deal on Gaza
An exiled Palestinian politician, Mohammed Dahlan, has for the first time discussed the details of a power-sharing deal with former rival Hamas movement for ruling Gaza.
Dahlan, a former Gaza security chief, said in a phone interview with the AP news agency published on Sunday that he expected the quietly-negotiated agreement to lead to opening of the blockaded Palestinian territory's border with Egypt in late August and an easing of crippling power outages.
Funding has been secured from the UAE for a $100m power plant to be built on the Egyptian side of the border, said Dahlan from the United Arab Emirates.
Several dozen of Dahlan's lieutenants and key supporters are expected to return from exile as part of the arrangements. But he said he will remain in exile.
