The signing of the Beijing Declaration by Hamas and Fatah represents a crucial move towards bridging their long-standing division, as highlighted by Chinese state media on Tuesday amidst the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
The recent declaration follows a series of talks aiming to unify the factions, but past attempts have faltered, raising doubts about the current China-mediated negotiations. As Israel and Hamas consider a cease-fire proposal, uncertainties loom over the postwar Gaza’s future, especially regarding Hama’s role in governance, which Israel strongly opposes.
It’s interesting how Hamas officials have expressed a shift in their approach towards governing Gaza post-conflict, advocating for a technocratic government agreed upon by Palestinian factions to pave the way for unified governance and elections for Gaza and the West Bank.
The signing of the Beijing Declaration by the two factions marks a significant step towards ending division and bolstering Palestinian unity.
