Abbas to visit China after offer to help revive peace talks with Israel
Jerusalem Post ^ | 6/10/2023 | Khaled Abu Toameh

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, who is expected to arrive in Beijing on Tuesday for a three-day visit, will be the first Arab leader to be hosted by China this year.

The visit is seen as a sign of China’s ongoing effort to increase its influence in the Middle East at a time when the US has refocused its attention on the Indo-Pacific region and Ukraine. It’s further seen as a sign of strengthened relations between the Palestinians and China, which has long been critical of Israeli policies and measures.

Abbas’s visit to China comes shortly after Beijing helped broker the reestablishment of diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran. It also comes in the aftermath of China’s offer to help Israel and the Palestinians resume peace negotiations, which have been stalled since 2014.

The last meeting between Abbas and Chinese President Xi Jinping took place in December 2022 at the China-Arab Summit held in the Saudi capital, Riyadh. During a speech at the summit, Jinping affirmed his country’s support for the Palestinians’ efforts to gain full membership in the United Nations.

“We firmly support the establishment of a fully sovereign Palestinian state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital." - President Xi Jinping

Never forget. Abbas was Arafat’s bagman, banker. All the Obama / Biden Crime Regime news has Abbas wanting to get in on all the $$-Chicom-$$.

You know the world is nuts when an old mass- murderer terrorist gang leader is permitted to roam all over freely like this.

Looks like China is getting tangled up in the Ezekiel 38 and 39 alliances.

Yes. We need the terrorist state of communist China, with their own concentration camps, mucking about in the business of Middle East peace. Not.
