U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in China on the afternoon of April 24 for a two-day visit.

On April 26, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken ended his visit to China, and Blinken had already left China on a special plane.

Just after the U.S. Secretary of State left China, a friend flew directly to Beijing to talk to China.

This friend came from Palestine, and two major Palestinian organizations each sent a delegation to China.

Palestinian representatives of Fatah and Hamas told Britain's Reuters and Saudi Arabian News that they would organize a delegation to China on April 26.

The delegation was a Fatah delegation led by Azam Ahmed, a senior official of the Palestine Liberation Organization.

He also said that the delegation had boarded a special plane and flew to China on April 26.

It was not only Fatah who sent a delegation, but even Hamas organized a delegation of senior officials from the Palestinian resistance group to China.

According to the information expressed by Palestinian diplomats in China, the two delegations came to China this time to ask for China's request.

The two delegations asked China to bring the two sides together to resolve the internal Palestinian issue and further form a Palestinian unity government.

Why do the two organizations have to ask China to act as an intermediary when they are both in Palestine, but there are internal contradictions?

When the two major Palestinian organizations, Fatah and Hamas, were formed, the ultimate goal was to enable Palestine to establish a state and have autonomy.

However, there is no cooperation between the two organizations, Fatah and Hamas, because the methods of the two organizations are different.

Hamas was founded in 1987, and since its founding, the core of Hamas's insistence has been to obtain Palestinian sovereignty through armed struggle.

And Hamas opposes any negotiations with Israel, believing that Israel should not exist on the earth, and the ultimate goal is to completely eliminate Israel.

Founded in 1959, Fatah advocates peaceful diplomacy in negotiating with Israel and establishing an independent Palestinian state.

In fact, at the beginning of Fatah's establishment, it was also an organization that fought in all directions, especially during the third Middle East war, which directly eliminated more than 400 Israeli troops.

However, after that, Fatah's leaders believed that Israel had strong support from the United States behind it, and wanted to negotiate with Israel to resolve the conflict.

In 1993, under the auspices of the United States, Fatah leaders and the Israeli prime minister signed a land-for-peace agreement, which turned Fatah into a moderate organization.

Fatah's move has also aroused strong dissatisfaction among the Palestinian people, because there are indelible contradictions between Palestine and Israel.

Especially after the death of the Fatah leader in 2004, Fatah directly lost the support of the Palestinian people.

Under these circumstances, Hamas's armed struggle has gained a large amount of support from the Palestinian people to stand up to Fatah.

The two groups also led to a large-scale civil war in Palestine until 2017, when the two sides reconciled under Egyptian mediation.

Although they are both in Palestine, the two sides do not look at each other well, and in the recent incident in Gaza, Hamas also suffered heavy losses.

Hamas also believes that if the two major Palestinian organizations continue to be so divided, they will be further and further away from the goal of Palestinian statehood.

Another reason is that in mid-2023, China will resolve the contradictions between Saudi Arabia and Iran, so that the two countries can reconcile.

This has made Hamas and Fatah see China's strength and believe that China can help them fulfill their aspirations.

This also shows that China's influence in the Middle East is gradually rising, and it also makes Middle Eastern countries believe that Western countries are not the only way out.

The contradictions in the Middle East are intricately intertwined, including religion and belief, issues left over from the history of the Middle East, and disunity of opinion within the Middle East.

In the midst of these intricacies, China can identify key messages that can connect the two sides and bring them to a rapprochement.

Today, the relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran in the Middle East have been greatly eased after China's maneuvering, which is conducive to regional peace.

If reconciliation between Fatah and Hamas is possible this time, the process of resolving the Palestinian question will be a major step forward.

This will also be very conducive to the peaceful direction of the Middle East, so that China can get rid of the shackles of war and live a better life.

The Middle East is basically the crossroads of the three continents of Asia, Europe and Africa, and a long period of instability is not conducive to trade between the three continents.

Resolving the Middle East issue is not only in the interests of China, but also among other countries, and is more in line with the development of today's society.
