Israel National News reports: “This weekend, reconciliation talks between Fatah and Hamas representatives will take place in Beijing under the auspices of the Chinese regime in an attempt to end the division between the Palestinian factions.

The newspaper Al-Araby Al-Jadeed reports, based on Palestinian sources, that the Chinese authorities pressured the Palestinian leadership to hold the meeting now, despite Fatah requesting to postpone it by a month.

Husam Badran, a member of Hamas’s political bureau, said Hamas is ready and approaches positively and with national responsibility any invitation to dialogue that will promote the end of the split in the Palestinian people, especially in light of the Al-Aqsa Flood operation – the Palestinian name for the October 7 attack.

In an interview with Quds Press, Badran said that the meeting in China will include representatives of all Palestinian organizations, and there are no preparations for a bilateral meeting between Fatah and Hamas representatives…”
