Without a reconciliation between Fatah and Hamas, it will be impossible to reach a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Friday, AFP reported.
"The process of unity between Fatah and Hamas, this has to be achieved. If this reconciliation is not achieved, then I don't believe that a solution or result will come out of the Israeli-Palestinian discussions," said the Turkish prime minister, who is currently visiting the US.

"I place a lot of significance on this visit in terms of peace in the Middle East. I'm hoping that that visit will contribute to unity in Palestine," Erdogan said at a joint press conference with US President Barack Obama on Thursday.
