MB: We commend positive Chinese role in supporting Palestinian rapprochement

The Muslim Brotherhood (MB) appreciates the role played by the People's Republic of China in sponsoring the Palestinian internal dialogue and seeking to end the division and boost Palestinian unity. Today, this effort has been crowned with the "Beijing Declaration". This historic declaration was signed by the participating Palestinian factions, particularly Hamas and Fatah, in the presence of the Chinese Foreign Minister, to announce a new phase of Palestinian national work.

The Brotherhood believes that this accord is a necessary step towards comprehensive Palestinian reconciliation, joint action, and rallying around the supreme Palestinian national goals, in terms of emphasis on “the right of the Palestinian people to resist and end the occupation, based on international laws and the United Nations Charter”; unifying efforts to face the Israeli aggression, stop the Gaza war, and adhere to the unity of the Palestinian territories – while adopting “the formation of an interim national reconciliation government” that will work on unifying the West Bank, Jerusalem, and Gaza, to start reconstruction in the Gaza Strip, and then prepare for holding general Palestinian elections.

The MB views the Beijing Declaration as an important political step at both the international and domestic levels, as it has come in a critical stage that requires putting the Palestinian house in order in the face of Israeli aggression and uniting the people behind their supreme goals for the liberation of Palestine. May Allah preserve Palestine as free and united.
