Strategic Council Online – Interview: An international affairs expert said: Fourteen Palestinian groups have agreed to form an interim national reconciliation government to manage the state of affairs in Gaza after the war, with the mediation of China. This agreement is the result of the negotiations held in Beijing, in which Musa Abu Marzouq, a senior representative of Hamas, and Mahmoud Aloul, a member of the Fatah Central Committee, were present. On this basis, the Palestinian groups have agreed on how to manage Gaza after the end of the war in a joint statement called the “Beijing Declaration.”

Strategic Council Online – Note: The recent provisional order indicated by the International Court of Justice on the “Application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in the Gaza Strip (South Africa v. Israel) – if used astutely – could constitute a “turning point” in the struggle of civil advocates and governments committed to the Palestinian cause. Before this decision, two other significant legal instruments had been produced at the highest levels of the United Nations concerning Israel, but unfortunately – despite their remarkable potential – neither was adequately exploited by pro-Palestine governments – including the “Palestinian Authority” – due to lassitude in some instances, unwarranted prudence in others, or even the fear that engaging the Israeli regime in any manner on a formal stage could wrongly be construed as its “recognition.”

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Netanyahu’s fascist government has proposed a plan to “remove the Islamic Resistance groups” from the West Bank, including Nablus and Jenin. This conspiracy plan is presented at a time when the measures of the Zionist regime to deal with the Islamic Resistance in the West Bank have failed, and the Palestinian Resistance groups have started large-scale operations in the mentioned areas in response to the crimes of the usurpers.
