2022 Palestinian reconciliation agreement
The 2022 Palestinian reconciliation agreement, officially the Algerian document for Palestinian reconciliation (Arabic: الورقة الجزائرية للمصالحة الفلسطينية) and referred to by the Algiers declaration (Arabic: إعلان الجزائر) in Arab media, is an agreement signed by 14 different Palestinian factions, including Fatah and Hamas, as part of the reconciliation process between the two factions in a conflict that started in the aftermath of the 2006 Palestinian legislative elections and included the 2007 Hamas takeover of Gaza. Months of talks leading to the deal were conducted in Algeria in preparation for the first Arab League summit since the COVID pandemic.

The agreement included provisions to hold presidential and parliamentary elections within a year of its signing. No new Palestinian elections were held throughout 2023, owing in part to Israeli opposition to allow voting in East Jerusalem. Just as the deadline was nearing the Israel–Hamas war was started, rendering the deal ineffectual.
