Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is calling for national elections on January 24 after his Fatah party and rival Hamas failed to reach a reconciliation deal in talks mediated by Egypt.

Abbas issued a decree - requesting presidential and legislative elections in the West Bank, Gaza and Jerusalem - which will be considered by Fatah's Central Committee - its highest decision-making body - on Saturday, a presidential advisor told CNN.

Abbas is a leader of Fatah, which controls the West Bank. Hamas - a rival political party and Islamist group listed by the United States and Israel as a terrorist organization - controls Gaza.
