China says Hamas and Fatah voice will for Palestinian reconciliation
Source: Reuters
BEIJING/CAIRO, April 30 (Reuters) - Rival Palestinian groups Hamas and Fatah have expressed the will to seek reconciliation through dialogue at unity talks in Beijing, China's foreign ministry said on Tuesday.
The two factions have not managed to heal political disputes since Hamas fighters expelled Fatah from the Gaza Strip in a short war in 2007, and their talks took place against the backdrop of Israel's war on Hamas in Gaza.
"The Palestinian National Liberation Movement (Fatah) and Islamic Resistance Group (Hamas) representatives arrived in Beijing a few days ago for in-depth and candid dialogue," Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian told a regular briefing.
"They agreed to continue the course of talks to achieve the realisation of Palestinian solidarity and unity at an early date."
