Senior Hamas and Fatah officials are set to meet in China next week for talks on the Gaza Strip’s postwar administration, The New York Times reports, citing officials from both groups.
According to the report, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh will lead the terror group’s delegation while Fatah deputy chair Mahmoud al-Aloul will lead his party’s representatives for meetings in Beijing.
The officials will meet China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi on July 21 and July 23, while the two delegations will hold talks on their own during their time in China.
While Hamas has expressed openness to handing over civilian administration in Gaza, it has refused to give up its armed struggle against Israel, the report notes.
The terror group violently ousted Fatah from the Gaza Strip in 2007 and has ruled there ever since.
