Qatar welcomes China-hosted reconciliation of Palestinian factions
Qatar welcomed the signing of the “Beijing Declaration” by Palestinian factions earlier this week to achieve reconciliation and strengthen unity against Israeli “violations” in all the occupied territory.
The foreign ministry said in a statement it considers the agreement “an important step towards national unity and the consolidation of the national project to establish an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital”.

Harris blasts ‘despicable’ US flag burning at anti-Netanyahu protest
US Vice President Kamala Harris denounced the “unpatriotic” burning of an American flag by protesters who rallied in Washington, DC, during Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s address to Congress.
“I condemn the burning of the American flag. That flag is a symbol of our highest ideals as a nation and represents the promise of America. It should never be desecrated in that way,” the likely Democratic presidential candidate said in an unusually strong statement.
She said Wednesday’s demonstration featured “despicable acts by unpatriotic protesters and dangerous hate-fueled rhetoric”.
That's what happens when your highest ideals are committing the world's most documented genocide. Patriotism is what fuels stupid wars. If you want to say something about dangerous hate-fueled rhetoric, see Netanyahu's speech.
What's the promise of America? Threaten and bomb everyone that doesn't look like 'us'? That's the image you're projecting to the world.
I guess Harris had to say something or risk getting called anti-semetic and unpatriotic by Republicans.
