It’s been hailed as an “historic moment for the cause of Palestinian liberation.” Fourteen Palestinian groups, including longtime rivals Fatah and Hamas, signed a deal for “national unity” aimed at maintaining Palestinian control over Gaza once the continuing Israeli assault is over. What will that mean for Palestine?

    China suffered this pain before from Japan’s invasion, so they deeply understand how does genocide mean to a nation.

    China's actions toward peace and sovereignty in Palestine . My heart is with you, Palestine.
  • @annur3432
    The fact is that this deal is long overdue. If the factions don’t understand that they are stronger together they will never control a State. I’m glad they are now putting their differences aside for the greater good. These are the keepers, and the protectors of Al Aqsa, please act like it. You must unite now !! May Allah guide you and bring you closer together to form stronger strategic alliances. 🇵🇸✨🤲🏽✨🇵🇸

    Wow! What a novel idea - Palestinians should get to choose their own government and Israel should stay the f out of Palestine. If only the US and Europe would agree!
  • @rwksasc
    China doesn’t go around telling people what to do. The West preaches peace, human rights etc, all the while ensuring that you remain divided.
  • @GraniteInTheFace
    The reason why usa Media so quiet is because nothing in agreement is offensive to anyone. But it goes against us order
  • @rodzitazainal19
    Excellent podcast and Israhell, US and the West must not be involved deciding the future of Palestine. This has to be decided by Palestine. The settlers must go back to their own countries, God willing.
  • @kimyoung2748
    Good to see. Hope it works for everyone involved.

    China has the position to ask palestine to forgive but not forget after the war in order to move forward, offers its citizen stability and strenghth. Like how China is dealing with Japan now.

    Some people may reflexively think why China was so keen to broker a deal to unite the various political groups in Palestine and China must have an ulterior motive etc. As a Chinese myself, I think by showing the world that China is not tolerating the genocide in Gaza and is trying to help the poor Palestinian people is a good enough motive. From our own sufferings in the past, we feel the Palestinian people’s pain. 路見不平拔刀相助 probably was the reason why the Chinese government did what it did. I am a medical doctor and had offered my assistance many times to people on the street and to road traffic accident victims without thinking if I would receive any rewards or get myself into trouble if that person died. All Palestinians must unite and fight the common enemy. I am on your side and wish you will have your own home and your sufferings will end soon.
