In a significant political development, Israeli Settlements Minister Orit Struck has urged the government to implement countermeasures against the Palestinian Authority (PA) following the unification of Palestinian factions, including Hamas and Fatah. The call comes in response to the PA's recent actions against Israel on the international stage, which Struck describes as 'political-judicial terror.'
The 14 Palestinian factions, including Hamas and Fatah, recently signed an agreement in Beijing aimed at achieving 'national unity,' marking a potential turning point in Palestinian governance amidst ongoing conflict with Israel. Senior Hamas official Musa Abu Marzuk emphasized the importance of this agreement, stating that it represents a commitment to national unity in the face of external pressures.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi welcomed the agreement, noting that it provides for the establishment of an interim government of national reconciliation in Gaza post-war. This development comes as China seeks to enhance its role as a mediator in Middle Eastern conflicts, particularly in light of the recent escalation in violence between Israel and Hamas.
