Hamas and Fatah are set to hold unity talks in China this July to try and resolve the deep divisions between the two parties – two senior Hamas and Fatah officials told Reuters.
The two met in China in April with the same goal – to discuss reconciliation efforts after more than 17 years of rivalry.
Tensions have risen between the two since the events of Oct. 7, 2023; with the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas slandering Hamas for “Operation Aqsa Typhoon” and Hamas accusing Fatah of supporting “Israel”.
