After the territory was illegally occupied by Israel, the top Hamas leader came to China to discuss important matters, China fulfilled its promises, and a new pattern in the Middle East has taken shape.
A few days ago, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that on July 20 and 21, Fatah and Hamas will start a new round of talks in Beijing. China will take this opportunity to mediate and mediate to put an end to the situation in which the Palestinian factions are fighting their own battles and to ensure that the issue of political relations between various political groups can be properly resolved, so as to ensure that the Palestinian issue is properly handled. In fact, as early as three months ago, Fatah and Hamas held a meeting in China, but the final result was not ideal. The main disagreement between the two sides focused on whether to support the Oslo Accords. Fatah hopes that the agreement can be implemented and promised to use force to achieve reconciliation between Palestine and Israel through dialogue with the Netanyahu government, and finally complete the plan for peaceful statehood. But in Hamas's view, the "Oslo Accords" are a conspiracy of Israel, and Fatah is selling out the interests of all of Palestine for his own selfish desires, so he resolutely refuses to recognize the agreement and continues to fight Israel through force.
The outside world has noticed that there are two key points to be discussed in the second meeting: First, the participation of Hamas leaders. The last time Hamas came to China for talks, the representative was only a middle and high-level cadre within Hamas, but this time it was the leader Haniyeh, who is currently living in Qatar, has become the supreme leader of Hamas, responsible for both political and military aspects, considering that Dave, the supreme commander of the Hamas armed forces, has been targeted by the Israel Air Force. His visit to China for peace talks this time can also show Hamas's sincerity and attitude, and he should have planned to have a good talk with Fatah. Secondly, the international community's support for Fatah. Although the main force in the battle for Gaza at this stage is Hamas, the international community's support is still Fatah, who represents Palestine, and its leader Abbas is also known as the Palestinian president. Hamas has suffered heavy losses from the fighting in Gaza in recent months, and its overall power and influence have been greatly reduced, which has also increased Fatah's advantage and initiative in the talks.
After all, if the two most important forces in Palestine cannot achieve reconciliation and unity, then Palestine's desire to achieve peaceful statehood through the "two-state solution" is a complete dream, and whether or not the existing Palestinian territory can be retained is still a question. Not long ago, Netanyahu's government announced that it would confiscate Palestinian territory in the West Bank of the Jordan, with a total area of 12 square kilometers. It may not seem like much, but it is crucial for Palestine. Because once Israel violates 12 square kilometers this time, it may be 24 square kilometers next time, and the settlements will be set up in turn and annexed to Israel's territory, and then the Palestinian territory will only become smaller and smaller, and the survival and living conditions of the Palestinian people will continue to deteriorate, which is an issue that Fatah and Hamas need to pay close attention to. The fact that the two sides are willing to travel to China for the second meeting and have sent a core of the SCO leadership shows that they are aware of the urgency of the current issue and hope that the consultation and dialogue can continue under the coordination of China.
Of course, it is not realistic to expect that Hamas and Fatah will achieve a comprehensive reconciliation through this meeting in China, but at the very least, it can alleviate the contradictions and differences between the two sides, increase mutual political trust between the two sides, and lay the foundation for comprehensive reconciliation in the future, so that there is a chance to achieve internal unity in a real sense. There is no doubt that China has always been committed to promoting a comprehensive settlement of the Palestinian issue and has been contributing to the settlement of the issue in a fair and just manner. It is believed that with China's mediation and mediation, there is hope that the tension in Palestine and in the Middle East as a whole will be eased and improved, so that the region can take another step toward peace and stability.
