JAKARTA - Palestinian factions, including rivals, Hamas and Fatah, will hold reconciliation negotiations in China.
Reported by Reuters, senior officials Hamas and Fatah said they were trying to resolve deep divisions.
The two factions met in China in April to discuss reconciliation efforts to end 17 years of political divisions.
The meeting comes amid rising tensions between the two factions over the continuing Hamas war with Israel.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who led the Fatah movement, previously criticized the Hamas Islamist group for the war, while Hamas accused the Palestinian president of favoring Israel.
Two major Palestinian factions have clashed since Hamas won legislative elections in 2006 and taken over the Gaza Strip in 2007 after a brief civil war that defeats Western support Palestinian forces loyal to Abbas.
