China is all set to further strengthen its position in the middle east by hosting Palestinian unity talks between Islamist militant group Hamas and its rivals Fatah amid the war in Gaza Strip. Hamas and Fatah - two rival Palestinian factions - are known for their political disputes since Hamas fighters expelled Fatah from Gaza in a short war in 2007. Delegations of both Hamas and Fatah left for China for the talks. If successful, this will be China's second such breakthrough after it brokered peace deal between longstanding regional foes Saudi Arabia and Iran. #china #biden #hamas #fatah #gazawar Subscribe to The Times of India's YouTube channel: http://goo.gl/WgIatu For daily news & updates and exclusive stories, follow the Times of India Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TimesofIndia Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/timesofindia/ Download the app: http://toi.in/3SLUCa80 Follow the TOI WhatsApp channel: https://bit.ly/3RYl0J9 Follow TOI+ for well-researched and in-depth news and analysis Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/timesofindiaplus Twitter: https://twitter.com/TOIPlus Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/toi_plus/
