GAZA CITY—Palestinian Authority officials arrived here Monday for two days of talks with militant group Hamas, as the two major Palestinian sides work to mend ties after a decade of deadlock. The talks are the latest attempt at reconciliation between the groups after years of mistrust, and could lead to a united Palestinian national movement that would participate in peace talks with Israel. Their success hangs on whether Hamas agrees to hand over security of the strip to the Authority for the first time in 10 years.
