Hamas on Monday said it had told the Egyptian and Qatari sides that the movement approved their proposal regarding a ceasefire deal in the Gaza Strip. 

On April 30th, the two major Palestinian political factions, Fatah and Hamas, had engaged in in-depth and candid talks in Beijing to promote intra-Palestinian reconciliation. China has once again provided a platform for consultations on Middle East affairs following its successful mediation last year in restoring diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran, which has drawn significant attention from the international community.

Why did Fatah and Hamas choose Beijing for their talks? What achievements have been made in their talks? What role will China play in Middle East affairs, especially regarding the Israeli-Palestinian issue?

We interviewed Sun Xingjie, Professor and Vice Dean from the School of International Relations at Sun Yat-sen University,on this matter.

当地时间6日，哈马斯宣布，已经接受与以色列停战的停火建议。此前，4月30日，巴勒斯坦两大政治派别巴勒斯坦民族解放运动（法塔赫）和伊斯兰抵抗运动组织（哈马斯）在北京磋商，双方就推进巴内部和解深入坦诚对话。这是中国继去年成功斡旋沙特阿拉伯和伊朗两国恢复外交关系以来，又一次为中东事务提供磋商平台，国际社会对此高度关注。

法塔赫和哈马斯为什么选择在北京进行磋商？这次会谈双方达成了什么成果？中国还将在中东事务特别是巴以问题上发挥什么作用？

中山大学国际关系学院教授、副院长孙兴杰为我们解读了以上问题。
