Palestinian factions have reached a “national unity” agreement in China, aimed at maintaining control over Gaza post-Israeli war. The deal includes the formation of an interim national reconciliation government and unity among Palestinian leadership. This move is crucial in blocking Israeli efforts to control Gaza after the conflict ends.
The agreement was signed by Hamas, Fatah, and 12 other Palestinian groups, marking a significant reconciliation between long-term rivals. Hamas advocates for armed resistance, while Fatah favors peaceful negotiations for a Palestinian state. Past attempts at reconciliation have failed, but the current war in Gaza has prompted the factions to set aside their differences for the greater good.
China, which has a history of supporting the Palestinian cause, played a mediating role in the talks that led to the agreement. The Chinese Foreign Minister emphasized the importance of international support for Palestinian reconciliation. This unity among Palestinian factions is seen as crucial in the face of ongoing Israeli attacks and efforts to control Gaza.
The signing of the “Beijing Declaration” marks a positive step towards ending internal conflicts among Palestinians and working towards a unified front against Israeli oppression. The international community, including China, has called for a peaceful resolution to the Israel-Palestine conflict and supports the efforts of the Palestinian factions to come together for the greater good.
