Why a China-brokered deal is uniting Palestinians | The Take

- It’s been hailed as an “historic moment for the cause of Palestinian liberation.” Fourteen Palestinian groups, including longtime rivals Fatah and Hamas, signed a deal for “national unity” aimed at maintaining Palestinian control over Gaza once the continuing Israeli assault is over. What will that mean for Palestine?

Palestine should be in control of its own destiny. Not Israel.
The deal is just a piece of trash paper. At the end of the day, the victor has the final say.
Monsters of our time talk like that all the time. A social intellectual sees the nuances of increasing political pressure.

No abdul its just your imagination your watching too much hamas jazerra. 😆

China's actions toward peace and sovereignty in Palestine . My heart is with you, Palestine.
My heart is with you too Palestine 🇵🇸🙏
may peace prevail in Palestine❤️🇵🇸
May justice prevail, in Palestine and for all occupied and oppressed peoples including the Tibetans, the Uyghur and the people of West Papua ❤
Wow! What a novel idea - Palestinians should get to choose their own government and Israel should stay the f out of Palestine. If only the US and Europe would agree!
Funny thing, the US and Europe have been pushing for this forever. But the PA is scared of elections and Hamas has been known to kill their opponents.
Europe is a continent
@@timesup6302your reading comprehension needs work.
@@timesup6302 So?? Birds can fly.
They don’t agree because they really want to keep the war going .
China is achieving results that the US never could.
US was alway paying lip service and still is. US never intended to make a positive difference.
US doenst want to achieve*
Bro, their are politicians in the United States that have signed bombs that killed children. We are the problem.
US wants what Israel wants.
A peaceful world never in the US military complex's interest, and bad for their divide and control strategy.
Thank you, China!!! 😢 we need peace on earth.
Thank you Diana Buttu!
An excellent statement about Palestinian Unity and their right to control their own land and destiny!
Thank you also Al Jazeera and "The Take" for this interview!

China suffered this pain before from Japan’s invasion, so they deeply understand how does genocide mean to a nation.
The Chinese occupied Tibet for more than 70 years, so if Israel followed the Chinese example, there wouldn't be a problem....right?

one tibetan are treated as countrymen of China and even have more rights than a average han. Tibet is part of china and is treated as such.
Israel salt Gaza soils, diverts the water to drought them, blow up water purification plants, intentionally starve them.
Also there is no conc camps or attack dogs set by the PLA

The fact is that this deal is long overdue. If the factions don’t understand that they are stronger together they will never control a State. I’m glad they are now putting their differences aside for the greater good. These are the keepers, and the protectors of Al Aqsa, please act like it. You must unite now !! May Allah guide you and bring you closer together to form stronger strategic alliances. 🇵🇸✨🤲🏽✨🇵🇸

They probably understood but had no choice since China was not strong enough yet to take on USA and defend them from USA and it's "allies".
Now middle east sees China is strong enough for them to benefit and take shade in China's hugr shadow.
Before no one could both be trusted to be neutral arbiter, but also be strong enough to be able to take on USA and resist usas pressure.
China is also the most important and expert country when jr comes to infrastructure building and also when it comes to speed and price. China also can give the money to rebuild and also the military power to keep the peace from USA or Israel and West combined attacking them. China can easily take them all on alone.. no one eks can do this or will do rhuwbmn inkt dhunqm

China can easily take them all on alone.. but only China, and only recently in the last 10-20 years or so as China's economy, technology, and military all advanced and reached a level that was sufficient for China to be self sufficient and for their massive existing supply chains economically, technologically, and militarily secure. USA does not have the power to shut down global maritime trade nor start a direct war against China over Chinese red lines like Taiwan or SCS. If USA dares to keep up it's lies and self pretentions, it will quickly be forced to come to terms and then make up with reality. Otherwise only death and defeat awaits them. You can't dump or break up with reality. You can only have a short break but if you take too long, instead if you having a break, it will be YOU who will be the one that's broken after the break etc. hahaha.
Long live Palestine!!!!

Thank you for your statement about Palestinians unity,
Palestinians are the most courageous Brave beautiful amazing incredible people of the world. Free Free Palestine 🇵🇸❤🙏

China doesn’t go around telling people what to do. The West preaches peace, human rights etc, all the while ensuring that you remain divided.
China, while autho'ritarian it still is more humanistic than the West and respects other countries

Some of us in the west promote peace
@@mohamedali1949 They preach it. Their words are empty.
The Chinese literally have thousands of people paid by the govt to hack systems.
They are now building infrastructure in Africa and Afghanistan.
Do you think they do it out of the kindness of their hearts? 😂😂
Now, in time the world will see.
They are right. It’s their right to decide who rule them not Israel
FREE PALESTINE NOW Thank you 🌹
The OIC and at least 170 human rights groups have determined there is no genocide. When reporters asked US politicians what genocide they were talking about, Pompeo said it was cultural genocide.

Thank you China for caring about Palestine and helping them, and being a strong leader on the world stage. Someone needs to be, as there's a total vacuum right now.
China has brought together 14 factions in Palestine - in effect an Interim Government. Try for an Armistice, provide emergency relief, release all prisoners, and soon develop the water resources of the Region with the Oasis Plan of Shimon Peres!
Well done China, unity is strength. Wish the best wishes , patience, and success. You can do it
China wants the same thing that the USA and Israel wanted. More control of the land and the natural resources, but they will be less intrusive.
Some people may reflexively think why China was so keen to broker a deal to unite the various political groups in Palestine and China must have an ulterior motive etc. As a Chinese myself, I think by showing the world that China is not tolerating the genocide in Gaza and is trying to help the poor Palestinian people is a good enough motive. From our own sufferings in the past, we feel the Palestinian people’s pain. 路見不平拔刀相助 probably was the reason why the Chinese government did what it did. I am a medical doctor and had offered my assistance many times to people on the street and to road traffic accident victims without thinking if I would receive any rewards or get myself into trouble if that person died.
All Palestinians must unite and fight the common enemy. I am on your side and wish you will have your own home and your sufferings will end soon.
Thank you a lot. The world should be ever and again for the good people.
The only way that could be achieved , would be without Zionism .
路見不平拔刀相助 = Unseathing sabre defeating the unjustice you see :D
Thank you China Thank you 🌹
Are you serious? The CCP loves Palestinians.... my foot.. what did the 14 groups promise....the devil is in the detail
It's not up to us who represents Palestinians, it's up to them.
You cannot oust Hamas as terrorists especially when do many Israeli PM's were in terrorist gangs. The UK had to deal with IRA so Israel CAN deal with Hamas, its America that causes all the problems and has allowed Israel to become a sick, nationalistic, violent society eith settlers infecting the body politic.
If only the US settlers would listen to this and leave us American Indians alone.
Good to see. Hope it works for everyone involved.
The reason why usa Media so quiet is because nothing in agreement is offensive to anyone. But it goes against us order
not really, it is election season, thats why no one is talking about about an agreement that lays out no pathways.
Excellent podcast and Israhell, US and the West must not be involved deciding the future of Palestine. This has to be decided by Palestine. The settlers must go back to their own countries, God willing.
This unexpected and actually briliiant move from China. As an Indian, being in variable relations with China, I think a SENSIBLE global china, can really lead the world to better future. A strong US is unstable and just outright weird.
Hearty congratulations to Palestine unity deal signed in china. It is necessary to build a long lasting deal
Of the nations of Asia, Africa and Latin America including Caribbean Islands countries.
China has proved itself as the real world leader by taking this important step..
Freedom and justice for palestine !!!
So many countries sending (weapons, fighter jets and Army so and so) Ukraine protection.
Why can't save Palastine and Palestinians Human Rights.
US should learn humanity and politic from China
This is one of the best interviews I have heard about Palestina. In my view: 1.Palestine self-determination is Palestinians´natural right. 2)The Palestinians leaders of today can choose to teach other countries what great leadership is about. Leaders who put the wellbeing of their people and nature first, making use of great intelligence and humility.
Thank you China. Freedom, peace, independence and justice for Palestine
Because China is more Civilized.
The Chinese occupied Tibet for more than 70 years, so if Israel followed the Chinese example, there wouldn't be a problem....right?
Uyghur camps should be neglected and ignore , no protests in the streets for them , the hypocrisy 😅
Tibet was part of China during the Qing dynasty. China just took it back.
@@itachiofthesharingan67 Tibetans in Tibet are thriving. Tibetans that fled to Nepal live in poverty. I've been there.
no government is perfect or "better". People are flawed everywhere. calling israel better and more civilized is how we got here.
Once again, China is the adult in the room.
A Free Palestine is a must 🇵🇸
My hat off to China
China was able to mediate much better Relations between the warring Islamic factions of Iran and Saudi Arabia!
Will this make the area more stable and give the Palistinian people rights and protection internal and external? This is a legitimate question. Not sarcasm.
I dont think So they have as their neighboor a Lunatic country
Wow. Diana Buttu is a true leader.
Like Ana Kasparian !
Palestinian unity amongst all factions is a MUST before two-state UNSC resolution can be implemented and Fatah agreement to share political power is key to trigger this long unsettled political dispute among them.
Thank you for this report and update!
Mahmoud Abbas has lost all credibility. He is old and hopefully wise enough to step down.
plz help to palastine... & Gaza
Thank you china from Bangladesh
China and Russia are on the right side of history, America just keeps making poor decisions.

🔻✊🏽LONG LIVE RESISTANCE ✊🏽🔻
It is good that very large nation can show other so called democracy nations how to be diplomatic and create peace terms with future cooperation.
Liberty for Palestinians. Peace, ceasefire, immediate aid and future help in total rebuilding. Not just homes, schools, hospitals.. Also re-creating farm lands for animals and crops. The land at moment has been made toxic by IDF and Israel government. Going to take years and life cannot wait so aid must come everyday for years.
This is refreshing thankyou
China is stepping up to the plate and doing what a world leader should do. Kudos to China.
China deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. They have done so much in only a few years.
China is swimming among friends and everyone is luving it.
They are charting the right path.
BRICS will eventually help Palestinians get a separate state and realize its dreams.
Well done.
If Hamas can’t be ousted as a political force in Palestine, than all other Palestine factions (in an united front) will have to be accountable for Hamas actions. If Hamas commits a terrorist act, all other factions will have to respond to that.
Diana is amazing. Thank you ❤
Go China! 🇨🇳
Real leadership right there
As someone who went to school to study diplomacy I have so much respect for Chinese diplomats. They speak with erudition, have a coherent strategy, and their ambasadors aren't just some rich guy whose friends with the president.
China is trying to do what the US can't do actually bring peace to the Palestinian lives because the EU and US have failed very badly.
They didn't fail. They side with Israel and never want peace.
The fact that they have a common enemy should be enough to unite them. If that is not enough they will be “eth- cleansed” sooner rather than later. Look how China has moved forward in just 70 years and how Palestinians have moved backwards in the same time period.
China wasnt under siege for decades and in an open air prison, and living next to a Genocidal Apartheid state. Your comparing apples and oranges.
we support with China economic growth and rise of China Asia, we hope future China number one powerful country in the world, God bless China wisdom power rise
I just hope this is true because I'm tired of innocent women and children losing their lives. It reminds me of us, the former lost boys of Sudan between 1987-1992, but thanks to Kenya for taking us in at the time. No human being should suffer the way these poor Palestinians have suffered just because the terrorist group Hamas is hiding behind their own people.
I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of Zionism
Their meeting can be liken to Ukraine and Nato members without the presence of Russia, total failure. Without the USA, UK and Israel in agreement there's no resolution.
Russia 🇷🇺 support Palestine 🇵🇸

China has the position to ask palestine to forgive but not forget after the war in order to move forward, offers its citizen stability and strenghth. Like how China is dealing with Japan now.
There's still a long way to go. It's just the first step towards freedom.
It would seem that the influence of the Israel lobby was at play all this time; because what reason would the U.S. have for thwarting the peace process through the use of the ‘divide-and-conquer’ strategy, a strategy that the Americans are very good at making work against their own people to keep the governmental duopoly in control of their own country. The only purpose it might serve is in the maintenance of their foothold in the Middle East, called ‘Israel’.
The United States has, for as long as I can remember, been anti Communist, saying that under communism the people aren’t free to choose; but in the United States, the only choice the people have is between the right and left sides of the duopoly, and the elites don’t care which side is chosen. So what they have isn’t a democracy. It’s an inverted totalitarian government masquerading as a democracy where corporations dictate what can and can’t be said and/or done.
Free speech is squelched by a militaristic police force in public spaces, and by auto-delete routine programs online. I’ll be surprised if this comment remains posted for very long, or even gets posted at all. There really isn’t much difference between China and the United States in terms of their governments.
I don’t think they have any interest in doing so, but if China were to offer the people of the United States some guidance on who they should elect, it would be considered to be meddling in their elections and would immediately be censored. The elites don’t want the people to know what anyone outside the USA is thinking about the way their government operates other than what they’re told; but if something doesn’t change soon, we might ALL be wrapped up in a third world war.
Thank you China🙏🙏🙏🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Well China partnering with Palestinians to rebuild Gaza and then offering security guarantees would definitely shake things up. Bet Netanyahu is not happy about that at all
Govern, not rule over: watch your words ! 🌹
Where there is wisdom therefore peace is possible
Excellent interview!
Why? Because unlike Anglo / American government that pursue divide and conquer policies, Chine themselves once subject to that policy, try to treat others with fairness.
This the seventh time the Palestinians have tried to unite. The last time was in the holy city of Mecca. All factions of the Palestinians had to place their hand on the holy Koran and swear to work together. The agreement last for long as they could walk out the door of the room. Needless to say Iran and other Arab nations are feed up with the Palestinians. Privately they want Israel to get rid of Hamas and Sinwar.
*Game Changer!!*
Vote Green for a better direction in the USA.
Pro Palestine!
That is so critical for all Palestinians to stand united!
Any step towards future stability is vital. And it's great that China stepped in to help negotiations. It's just incredibly ironic that China is doing this.
We are in favor of this union of Palestinians factions to bring hope for Palestinian people.

We always with right side.
'Decision making must be in Palestenian hands. Palestenian self determination '
Fatah are not traitors - many are fighting now in the West Bank too. But Abbas' PA needs to be reformed in depth before it can participate in governing on a united Palestinian nation. For now we pray. Even those of us that have no god, we pray too.
China👍👌
We the people of Bangladesh are in a lot of danger. Who will save us? Save us from the hands of this tyrannical dictatorial government🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
unity means strength
Self determination. Sovereignty over one’s own country. Imperative. 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
And something that will probably never happen. They are not a super power and will have to do the bidding of what ever super power that decides to help them. My question is why no other middle eastern countries didn't rally around Palestine, because Israel has plans of taking over parts of the other countries in the middle east and not just Gaza.
East and West Asia will always be united. This is our indigenous continent to protect from Palestine to Japan.

Another great podcast delving into Palestinian steps towards freedom and justice.
China is a country that has a clear target about its country's Vision and Mission, and how they become a large industrial country that is slowly starting to shift the USA. They are using this moment to attract the sympathy of pro-Palestinian countries, to dominate world business and shift the USA. Besides having a history of being colonized which causes their concern for the suffering of Palestine, their business goals are very clear. In business and industrial activities, they are very strong as a country, they are stronger with BRICS, they will be stronger if they can control the Middle East industry and business. To run their business, they need investment and transaction security. History records that there are Good people, there are Bad people, there are businessmen with various good and bad political intrigues. China will be the winner in industrial and business competition. They are strong traders, with strong products, with a strong military, and still maintain human values. They seek victory with their brain intelligence, not with muscle (weapons) like the USA and its allies do. The USA and its allies have forgotten that history has clearly recorded that power on this earth is not eternal, even King David and King Solomon who were blessed by God had great power that also ended.
China can help them with mining & rebuilding too

Let’s be real. The Palestinian people made the mistake of having a right wing govt in the form of Hamas. Israel has also fallen into the hands of a right wing govt. No bueno.
HAMAS is not right wing.
They are Ismalists who fall on the left side like the Marxists. They are dictatorial and control from the top and weathy from the corruption.. where are the HAMAS leaders living currently while Gaza Palestinians die.
