Disagreed. China still takes into account Israel concerns and opinions for the region

The only thing that changed is that due to US encirclement, China HAD to make the deal with Iran to open up the strategic board against the US.

Keep in mind though, that China didn't make too much fanfare about the deal, and that it also consulted with Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and UAE (?). I am sure they also communicated by back channels with Israel.

Have you seen China exporting any significant military equipment since the arms embargo against Iran ended last year on October? (November?)

Also lets not forget that Israel-China technological and economical cooperation is going strong. And lets not forget that Israel resisted Pompeo's pressure to ban Chinese investment into Israel's tech companies and their infrastructure (port)

This matter is not as simple as you portray it to be. I suggest that you further research the extend of China-Israel relations in order to have a more complete picture of what is truly happening

IMO Israel still remains a partner of China in the Middle East

This is a perpetual dilemma to China. Jews in Israel are at least rational with regard to China. Historically, China does not harm Jewish people, sometimes to the contrary. But the Israel/Palestine conflict presents a moral dilemma in that US/UK/Israel is on the wrong side of the moral equation. Regardless of being strategic or tactical, China's recent moves in ME are in line with own global strategic interests. Under the current circumstance, it would be a dereliction of duty on the government part if China did not make such a play.

Do you think Palestinians have any power or any right to say....

Palestine has no power apart from rallying the world's opinion by showing videos on the ground. And it also has power IF the Arab States support it (hint: they dont, see the Abraham Accords lol)

And do you think that Israel will backdown from its geopolitical interests due to "world's opinion"? Doubt

Don't underestimate the power of a picture.

I dont and the Israel gov also agrees with you.

Which is why the bombed the media building.

I am afraid that the main course is coming shortly. My advice to the Palestinians is to stock up food and find a safe place to stay until this war ends

There's no electricity in Palestine now.

But if Palestine were to be flooded with solar phone chargers, that would be the most effective weapon in the conflict.
Next up would be SATCOM terminals and SIM cards from neighbouring countries.
