So much for the foreign policy establishment’s baseless assumption that the PLO, which runs the Palestinian Authority, represents a “moderate” alternative to Hamas.
Note also the further eclipse of Biden-Harris’ America as China takes global leadership in opposition to the declining power in Washington.
“Palestinian groups agree in Beijing meeting to achieve ‘comprehensive national unity’ under PLO,” by Awad al-Rujoub, AA, July 22, 2024:
In a rare show of unity, 14 Palestinian groups, including Hamas and Fatah, agreed on Monday in the Chinese capital of Beijing to achieve “a comprehensive national unity” under the umbrella of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).
The announcement was made in a joint statement at the conclusion of a two-day meeting in Beijing following China’s invitation to intra-Palestinian talks.
The statement said the Palestinian groups “agreed on achieving a comprehensive national unity that includes all Palestinian factions within the frame of PLO, and on the commitment to the establishment of the independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital, in accordance with the UN resolutions and ensuring the right of return as based in resolution 194.”
The Palestinian groups also agreed on “uniting national efforts” to stop the Israeli genocide in Gaza and to resist attempts to expel Palestinians from their lands.
The Fatah Movement, Hamas Movement, Palestinian Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP), and other Palestinian groups took part in the talks….

Essentially, China wants to be the sole broker w/ the Palis. But how do they enable them to even retain Judea or Samaria, let alone Gaza?
Israel should snap relations w/ them, and recognize Taiwan. Also ban all Chinese imports

Did these diplomats take a side trip to East Turkestan / / Xinjiang to see how happy imprisoned Muslims
are under Han Chinese rule?
If not, they should have done!

It is beyond rational comprehension that the supremely-smarty-Chinese want to stick their fingers into
this nasty pot of very sticky glue . . .
Put simply, if the Israelis had to choose between defeat and blowing the Middle-East with nuclear
warheads, we’d all have to redraw our atlases.
