14 Palestinian factions, including Fatah and Hamas, have agreed to end years of division and form a unity government. Their landmark deal was signed in Beijing, after three days of Chinese-brokered talks. Hamas and Fatah are bitter rivals who fought for control over Gaza in 2007. That resulted in Hamas controlling the Strip, while the Palestinian Authority -- overseen by Fatah -- retained partial administrative control in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. China's top diplomat Wang Yi stressed that Palestinian factions must be able to speak with one voice. Deborah Wong and Sarah Coates report.

    At this moment, Ukraine's foreign minister is also seeking dialogue in Beijing, so let us hope for good news in order to end the war as soon as possible.
