Israel criticized the Palestinian Fatah movement, led by President Mahmoud Abbas, for signing an agreement with Hamas regarding the post-war phase in the Gaza Strip. Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz wrote on X platform, "Hamas and Fatah signed an agreement in China for joint control of Gaza after the war," adding, "Instead of rejecting terrorism, Mahmoud Abbas embraces the murderers of Hamas and reveals his true face." The minister emphasized, "This will not happen because Hamas's rule will be crushed, and Abbas will look at Gaza from a distance."
