US-China Relations Updates

On July 31st, Iranian state television announced to the world a stunning piece of news: Ismail Haniyeh, the top leader of the Hamas organization, was assassinated in the Iranian capital Tehran. After an all-out rescue effort, Haniyeh unfortunately passed away.

Just recently, Hamas had sent high-level representatives to Beijing, and together with 14 Palestinian political factions, they had signed the “Beijing Declaration”. At this juncture, the news of Haniyeh’s assassination has made the conflict between Palestine and Israel even more complex.

Some analysts point out that Haniyeh’s assassination may signal a turning point in the game between China and the US, because there was an extremely unusual detail about the assassination.

The shocking “Beijing Declaration”

From July 21st to July 23rd, representatives of 14 Palestinian political factions were invited by China to hold lengthy talks in Beijing. After the two-day talks, the representatives of the 14 factions jointly signed the “Beijing Declaration”.

To demonstrate China’s emphasis on the “Beijing Declaration” and the reconciliation process within Palestine, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi attended the signing ceremony of the declaration and personally witnessed the representatives signing their names on the declaration document.

According to media reports, the “Beijing Declaration” stipulates that the various political factions within Palestine should quickly form a national unity government to collectively address the current crisis.

In the future, the various Palestinian political factions will also strive to promote Palestine’s statehood and implement the “two-state solution” proposed by the United Nations, so as to secure more living rights and space for the Palestinian people.

Among all the representatives who signed the “Beijing Declaration”, the representatives of the Palestinian government and Hamas were particularly eye-catching, as these two political forces currently control the Palestinian territories in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip respectively.

The signing of the Beijing Declaration proves that there is indeed a possibility of reconciliation among the various Palestinian political factions at the moment.

No one could have expected that right after the various political factions in Palestine signed the “Beijing Declaration”, the top leader of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, would mysteriously die in the Iranian capital Tehran.

Haniyeh’s Mysterious Death

According to a report released by Iranian state television on July 31, the top Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated in an apartment in Tehran in the early hours of that day.

After this news was announced, Palestinian President Abbas immediately declared that July 31 would be a day of mourning for one day to commemorate Haniyeh’s death.

On that day, Palestinian government agencies would also lower their flags to mourn Haniyeh’s death and commemorate his contributions to the Palestinian people.

Iran also promised to soon release an investigation report on Haniyeh’s death. Iran will also hold a grand funeral for Haniyeh to express its respect for the Palestinian liberation movement and Haniyeh himself. Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei also expressed condolences over Haniyeh’s death.

On August 1, the Iranian government held a solemn farewell ceremony for Haniyeh in the Iranian capital Tehran. A large number of Iranian government officials and citizens participated in this memorial event. After the farewell ceremony, Haniyeh’s remains will be taken to Qatar for burial.

However, there are various accounts about the cause of Haniyeh’s death currently. It is difficult for people to confirm who the assassin of Haniyeh was. There are even many conspiracy theories surrounding Haniyeh’s death.

Some analysts believe that after Hamas just signed the “Beijing Declaration” in Beijing, Haniyeh was beheaded by unknown forces, which may indicate a qualitative change in the game between China and the US.

In the event of Haniyeh’s beheading, there is a small detail that releases extremely unusual information. This is particularly worthy of attention. Perhaps it will help unravel the mystery of Haniyeh’s death.

The Game Between China and the US Enters a New Phase

Analysts believe that the signing of the “Beijing Declaration” marks the formal reconciliation of various political factions within Palestine. This is a result that has caused the US and Israel to be extremely panicked. Therefore, the US and Israel are certainly the biggest suspects in Haniyeh’s death incident.

Because once the various factions in Palestine are united and united against the outside world, Israel will probably find it difficult to gain the upper hand in the hands of the Palestinians. So the US and Israel probably have to deal a heavy blow to the other side before the Palestinian side takes any action.

Even more terrifying is that this beheading of the Hamas leader may trigger a large-scale conflict between Iran and Israel. At that time, the US will have to take the field to fight against Iran in order to protect its own interests in the Middle East.

At that time, the game between China and the US is also likely to usher in a round of comprehensive escalation in the Middle East, and the future game between China and the US will become more intense and crazy.

In addition, it is worth noting that before Haniyeh himself was assassinated, one of his bodyguards was assassinated in the Iranian capital Tehran. After the death of this bodyguard, security measures for Haniyeh should have been strengthened, but Haniyeh eventually died in an assassination.

All of this is enough to prove that Haniyeh’s death is definitely not a simple accident. I believe that as more details are gradually released, the truth behind Haniyeh’s death will definitely surface!
