Hamas and Fatah Leaders to Discuss Gaza Governance

Senior officials from Hamas and Fatah will meet in Beijing this month to reconcile and discuss the postwar administration of Gaza. This meeting, hosted by China, follows a failed attempt in April and aims to address the long-standing division between the two groups, who have been rivals since Hamas seized control of Gaza in 2007. The talks come amid rising tensions due to Hamas's ongoing war with Israel and criticism from Fatah over Hamas's actions. China positions itself as a neutral mediator, advocating for unity among Palestinian factions. The delegations will meet with Chinese officials and hold internal discussions, focusing on a potential new Palestinian force to govern Gaza.
