China To Host Hamas and Fatah Officials In July

Senior representatives of the occupied West Bank-based Fatah Movement and Gaza-based Hamas will meet in China next week, according to an article published in the New York Times.

Beijing to settle the disputes between these two factions that have been in rivalry for many years.

Analysts speculate that a reconciliation between Hamas and Fatah may increase the likelihood of postwar Gazan rule.

Previous attempts to arbitrate between the two factions, including a conference in Beijing in April, did not produce substantial outcomes.

Hamas and Fatah have decided to meet in Beijing this month in "a renewed bid for reconciliation," according to Israeli media outlets.

The Hamas delegation is "to be headed by its political chief Ismail Haniyeh," while the Fatah representation "will be led by deputy head Mahmud Alul," according to sources in Fatah.

China supports a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and has continuously supported the Palestinian cause.

After Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi's statement in April that the US should support a UN resolution establishing a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, Chinese officials have become more assertive over Israel's ongoing violations in Gaza.

According to a Washington Post columnist, David Reynolds IgnatiusIsrael and Hamas have made clear that they would not control Gaza during the second stage of any potential ceasefire and hostage exchange arrangement.

As per the US writer David's column, the interim governance will begin phase two, with security provided by US-trained soldiers and backed by "moderate Arab allies".
