Hamas and Fatah, along with other Palestinian groups, have signed an agreement in Beijing to work towards national unity and establish an interim national reconciliation government post-war in Gaza. China, playing the role of mediator, described the deal as a step towards ruling Gaza together once the conflict ends.
The agreement comes after nine months of war sparked by Hamas’s attack on Israel, resulting in significant casualties and humanitarian crises. China, along with envoys from various countries, facilitated the meeting and emphasized the importance of reconciliation for peace and stability in the Middle East.
While it remains uncertain if the agreement will hold, the involvement of China indicates its potential as a key player in reconciling Palestinian factions. Fatah expressed gratitude for China’s support, highlighting the country’s historical sympathy towards the Palestinian cause and dedication to a two-state solution.
This development marks a significant step towards resolving the long-standing conflict between Hamas and Fatah, with hopes of achieving peace and stability in the region with international support.
