Hamas and Fatah sign declaration in Beijing on ending yearslong rift
Tuesday, 23 July 2024 () Hamas and Fatah have signed a significant unity declaration in Beijing aimed at ending their long-standing rift and forming a government. This move comes amid ongoing Gaza conflict and international cease-fire efforts. Despite past failures at reconciliation, the agreement signals a potential shift. The future of Gaza governance remains uncertain, with Israel and the US rejecting various proposals.
Rival factions Hamas and Fatah, including 12 other Palestinian groups sign an agreement in Beijing, to set up an "interim national reconciliation government" to govern Gaza after the war. A step towards "A lasting and sustainable ceasefire in the Gaza Strip," says Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi.
