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. But the alliance of old foes remains volatile, while Israel threatens punitive measures and Abbas doesn't know yet if he'll get continued financial aid from the U.S. and Europe to keep the unity government afloat.

FILE - In this Jan. 2, 2014 file photo, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, left, listens as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu makes a statement during a press conference before their talk at the prime minister's office in Jerusalem. Tuesday, April 29, 2014, was to have been the day to seal a deal on a Palestinian state alongside Israel. Instead, it became another missed deadline in two decades of negotiating failures. The gaps between Israeli and Palestinian positions remain vast after nine months of talks launched by Secretary of State John Kerry. He hasn't given up, but there's a sense the U.S. may have to change its traditional approach to brokering talks. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas now face risky paths that could lead to a new conflagration. Here's a look at what might happen next.
