How Chinese-Russian influence shapes the Palestine-Israel issue
China and Russia have long been supporters of Palestine; however, recently, they are being seen in a new and quite different role. Since the recent war in Gaza began about a year ago, they have intervened as mediators in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. In July, Hamas, Fatah, and nearly a dozen other Palestinian groups signed a temporary agreement in Beijing, aimed at forming an interim government for national reconciliation following the war in Gaza. These groups also held a meeting in Moscow in February for a similar agreement.
