United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has welcomed an accord brokered by China seeking reconciliation between Hamas and other Palestinian resistance factions.
“I think all steps towards unity are to be welcomed and encouraged,” his spokesman Stephane Dujarric said on Tuesday.
Guterres “very much welcomes the signing of the Beijing Declaration by the Palestinian factions.”
Hamas says it signed an agreement in Beijing with other Palestinian factions, including Fatah, to work together for “national unity.”
The Hamas political bureau member, Mousa Abu Marzook, made the announcement after meeting Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and emissaries from other Palestinian groups, namely Fatah, Islamic Jihad, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP).
Chinese officials have described it as a deal aimed at maintaining Palestinian rule over Gaza once the Israeli campaign of genocide ends.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has said the Palestinian envoys agreed to set up an “interim national reconciliation government” to govern post-war Gaza.
Beijing, Wang said, called for a “comprehensive, lasting and sustainable ceasefire,” as well as efforts to promote Palestinian self-governance and full recognition of a Palestinian state at the United Nations.

Hamas says it has signed an agreement in the Chinese capital Beijing with other Palestinian factions, including Fatah, to work together for “national unity.”
The agreement brokered by China on Tuesday has infuriated the Israeli regime.
The foreign minister Israel Katz accused President of the Palestinian Authority Mahmud Abbas, whose Fatah faction signed the deal, of embracing the resistance groups which launched Operation Al-Aqsa Storm on October 7, 2023.
Hamas says a new and independent government of non-partisan figures should run the post-war Gaza and the occupied West Bank.
The resistance movement has said the administration of Gaza after the war is an internal Palestinian matter and the group will not discuss it with foreign parties.
According to Hamas officials, the post-war government will pave the way for a general election in the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank.
Hamas has repeatedly said Israel must withdraw from the entire territory of Gaza after a ceasefire.

All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near. Sun Tzu, The Art of War
The Empire of Chaos is relentless. Lawfare, destabilizations, sanctions, kidnappings, color revolutions, false flags, annexations: 2025 will be the year of BRICS – plus BRICS partners – as choice targets under fire.
Inestimable Prof. Michael Hudson coined “chaos” as official US policy. That’s bipartisan – and it runs across all silos of the Deep State.
In the absence of long-term strategic vision, and amidst the progressive imperial expulsion from Eurasia, all that’s left for the Hegemon is to unleash chaos from West Asia to Europe and parts of Latin America – a concerted attempt to Divide and Rule BRICS and thwart their collective drive affirming sovereignty and the primacy of national ...
While NATO may be yearning to take on Russia in the Arctic, many of its troops lack the necessary expertise for survival in such extreme conditions.
Although NATO forces regularly participate in drills in the region, many remain unprepared for the harsh realities of Arctic life.
Though NATO forces routinely participate in the bloc’s drills in the region, many of them are still not prepared to survive in the Arctic’s harsh conditions, The Sun reports citing Minna Alander, a researcher at the Finnish Institute of International Affairs.
"Not all NATO allies have the capabilities that are needed and that work in the Arctic environment and climate,” Alander said.....more below
