Top officials from Hamas and Fatah are meeting in Beijing as China seeks a bigger role in Middle East diplomacy. Expectations for significant progress are low, with previous attempts failing.
China's move to mediate between Hamas and Fatah echoes its successful role in negotiating a deal between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Cooperation between the Palestinian factions is vital for Gaza's postwar future.
While progress was reported in the Beijing meetings, the real test lies in whether Hamas and Fatah enhance cooperation on the ground. China, through a top diplomat, is engaging with the factions, aiming to position itself as a peace broker.
