On Tuesday (July 23), over 12 Palestinian factions, including rivals Fatah and Hamas, united under Beijing’s auspices and signed a declaration to create a temporary unity government. The talks that started, on Sunday (July 21), were the second time this year that representatives from Hamas and Fatah met in Beijing. During this conflict, Hamas took control of Gaza, and the two groups have been strongly opposed to each other ever since. Russia has hosted several talks among Palestinian factions in Moscow, the latest being in February.
