Palestinians wave flags as they celebrate the reconciliation between rival factions Fatah and Hamas, during a rally in Gaza City. President Mahmoud Abbas said a dark period in Palestinian history has ended with the formation of a unity government that formally ends his seven-year rift with the Islamic militant Hamas.
