Chinese state media say rival Palestinian factions including Hamas and Fatah have signed a declaration in Beijing to unite the two groups. The two groups have competed for power in Gaza and the West Bank for years. The so-called Beijing Declaration is aimed at strengthening Palestinian unity and involves more than a dozen Palestinian factions. Hamas is considered a terrorist group by the US, EU and other states, but not so by China. Israel swiftly rejected the agreement adding that Hamas’s rule "will be crushed."
