Closed door talks between Chinese officials and 14 Palestinian groups, including senior Hamas and Fatah leaders, have concluded in Beijing.

It's the second attempt by Chinese diplomats to bridge the gap and find a consensus between rival factions.

Leaders have been meeting with China's foreign minister, Wang Yi.

They've signed a document aimed at ending division, which they're calling the "Beijing Declaration".
Mustafa Barghouti is the Secretary General of the Palestinian National Initiative - it's one of the 14 Palestinian groups that have signed the unity deal in Beijing. He explains the contents of the agreement.
