Only Five?

Ma'an reports:

The fifth round of Palestinian unity talks is expected to kick off in Cairo Saturday in what many see as a final attempt to overcome the remaining obstacles preventing governmental unity between the West Bank and Gaza.

The Fatah and Hamas delegations are expected to arrive to Cairo on Friday with the task of finding a solution to the remaining government, elections system and the security apparatus files.

The four previous rounds, not all successful, were able to find acceptable solutions to two of the five central dividing points. Committees around the five points met during the third round of talks to discuss Transitional Government Formation, Issues in Reconciliation, Security Services, Elections Reform, and the role and make-up of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO)...


I could've sworn there were more than five rounds.

Maybe just this most recent time.
