Chinese state media say rival Palestinian factions including Hamas and Fatah have signed a declaration in Beijing to unite the two groups. The two groups have competed for power in Gaza and the West Bank for years. The so-called Beijing Declaration is aimed at strengthening Palestinian unity and involves more than a dozen Palestinian factions. Hamas is considered a terrorist group by the US, EU and other states, but not so by China. Israel swiftly rejected the agreement adding that Hamas's rule "will be crushed."

"Oslo accords" died the moment the ink dried on the document, because the occupation only expanded----democracy works for whomever resists the occupation the most, not for collaboration....

Is this why you’re so late talking about the story? It took you time to figure out how to frame something objectively good in a negative light and find a stooge to agree with you?

So Israel now need to invite the competing Tibetan factions to the Knesset to make China give up Tibet. Wonder if China will take that seriously?
@zsarimaxim692 2 hours ago

The analyst completely ignore the fact that Israel has already torn the Oslo accord, so there is nothing left for any Palestinian faction to continue negotiate on.

Respect to China for actually making moves for peace

This is something you would expect a super power does to keep the world in peace. Your guest didn’t think it will help on the regional peace but we all realize that it is the first step to PEACE. No one expects that it will happen in one night. Without the first step, you won’t see the light in the tunnel in the Middle East. Great job, China!
