Chinese diplomat Wang Kejian met with Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Qatar, marking the first acknowledged meeting between a Chinese official and Hamas since the Gaza war outbreak. Discussions centered on the Gaza conflict and aspirations for an independent Palestinian state. China has condemned the war, advocated for a ceasefire, and proposed a two-state solution. This move aligns with Beijing’s history of supporting Palestine and its recent efforts to strengthen its role as a peace broker in the region.
