Palestinian factions to form unity government

A meeting of Palestinian leaders in Gaza has reached a milestone reconciliation pact that will see rival Palestinian groups form a national consensus government in five weeks - after seven years of operating under separate administrations. Under the historic agreement announced on Wednesday, rival groups Fatah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad will form a government together under the umbrella of the Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO). The groups plan to form a national unity government in five weeks and will hold elections in six months. Al Jazeera's Atia Abawi reports from Ramallah.
