JAKARTA - Israel condemns the reconciliation of Hamas and Fatah taking place in China. Israel is angry with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas who actually embraces Hamas.

Hamas and Fatah signed an agreement in China to jointly monitor Gaza after the war. Instead of rejecting terrorism, Mahmoud Abbas instead embraced the killers and rapists of Hamas, revealing his real face. In fact, this will not happen because Hamas' power will be destroyed, and Abbas will monitor Gaza from afar. Israel's security will remain entirely in the hands of Israel, "said Israel's Foreign Minister Katz, via the X account @Israel_katz, Tuesday, July 23.

The Hamas and Fatah groups, including along with other factions in Palestine, totaling 14 factions, agreed to end the division and strengthen unity after meeting in Beijing, China.

The agreement was contained in the declaration after the dialogue which took place on July 21-23 which was attended by high-level representatives of all factions, ChinaXinhua23 news agency reported July.

"This is the first time 14 Palestinian factions have gathered in Beijing to hold a reconciliation dialogue, bringing valuable hope to the Palestinian people who suffer," the news agency reported.

The agreement marks the diplomatic success of Beijing and its growing influence in the Middle East, after mediating a successful peace agreement between Saudi Arabia's and Iran's regional arch-foe last year, quoted by Reuters.

Senior Hamas official Hussam Badran praised China in a statement on its significant efforts to host the negotiations and reached the declaration.

"This declaration comes at an important time because our people are facing a war of genocide, especially in the Gaza Strip," Badran said in the statement.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his goal was to destroy Iran-backed Hamas groups and oppose them having any role in the postwar Gaza government.
