On the 23rd of July, 12 Palestinian factions including Hamas and the PLO (led by Fatah) signed a “national unity” agreement. The agreement was signed in China and according to Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, the deal was struck after three days of intensive talks and negotiations, laying the foundation for an “interim national reconciliation government.”
But why did this deal need to be struck in the first place? And what does it mean for the future of Palestine?
We speak to Muslim Imran, Founding Director, Asia Middle East Center for Research & Dialogue (AMEC).
