So what do we think Yellen will say tomorrow?

From her position it would make sense for the speech to call for economic reconciliation, but then she'll surely be target of attack on every side. I find it difficult to imagine why she would stick her neck out like this. But she announcing a major speech is already quite unusual.
Judging from the recent statements by G7, Borrell and Lagarde, it seems like Yellen's speech will be hawkish, probably more decouple from China BS.

No, nothing will happen. The Saudi - Iran deal happened because both countries were facing strategic costs, and were about equal in strength when negotiating

In Israel's case, it doesn't face any big strategic costs for it to compromise with the Palestinians. Also, the balance of power is much much in favour to Israel.

To be frank, Israel would be dumb as rock to negotiate any deal with Palestine when it can just keep doing its salami slicing.
here your knowledge about Arabs comes short. Israel strategic costs are borne by collective West especially countries like Germany with some help from Turkey. As long as Israel is beneficial to overall benefits that Arabs getting in lobbying and immigration they will put this issue to one side but they will never solve it until they really need to solve it.
Some decades later and the Palestinian problem would be "solved" automatically
decades later?. unless you have understanding of inside demographics of Germany and Turkey i will refrain from making prediction.
once upon time France was darling of Arab world. now it got kick around both inside and outside Europe.
or take that another Chinese friend Pakistan example that have taken more Arab money than any other country but still espousing Turkishness and this may cause of trouble that is beyond China capacity to solve.
or take another guess of former Afghan president that had very similar background to current leader of another country and that information release and rehabilitation can only happen when there is understanding with Arabs. RT Arabic cannot become so big without Arab support.

The once-feared Soviet-installed leader is today lionised on YouTube videos , blogs , forums , and Facebook pages dedicated to “the real son of Afghanistan“.
In 1980 Najibullah was appointed head of Khedamat-e Etelea’at-e Dawlati (KhAD) – the Afghan secret police.
The well-viewed videos and prints on the streets contributing to Najibullah nostalgia derive from this period. Like the man himself, Akram says “Najib’s government, for good or bad, was viewed as strong”.

Gather around boys and girls, time for some Chinese proverb lessons. You can't ever hope to reintegrate with the Chinese society if you don't know basic stories, like that of the Guizhou Donkey.

In fact, China is already supporting Palestine rhetorically. Any time China puts a statement about tensions between Israel - Palestine it almost always slightly blames Israel while not saying anything about Palestinians making knife/bomb/rocket attacks etc.

You should see Israel's strategic community foaming from their mouth everytime a new China-Arab statement comes out basically blaming Israel lol

That's the most China would do, rhetorical and narrative support for Palestine. If Palestine needs something more, it needs to show its worth.

Can it show that is dear to all Muslims? While the public doesn't matter strategically, its still very valuable for an upcoming superpower. If Palestine plays its hand smartly, and if Israel missteps (get even closer to the US and more anti-China), don't be surprised if China throws Israel under the bus

So while Palestine needs to worry about Israel's continuous salami slicing against it, Israel also has to worry that China doesn't decide to sacrifice it in order to gain the sympathy of Muslims from all around the world
I agree with all what you've said except for the bit about public opinin.
The public doesn't matter strategically speaking EXCEPT when it comes to core issues like religion. By your logic, chinese public opinion doesn't matter strategically when it comes to Taiwan, but it does, or you wouldn't hear Xi Jinpin saying that no chinse president will allow himself to be the one to let go of Taiwan. Is there a strategic factor outside of public opinion that would make him say that ? yes, obviously. But the public plays a huge part into it too.

That's just f..ng sad to look at man. What's actually the legal basis of Jewish/Israel people claiming this land other than what's written on the bible/torah? I wasn't aware that biblical texts equals historical facts/truths. Yet, the same line of arguments that are grounded in historical documents, facts, with respect to China's sovereignty, territorial integrity are set aside in favour of "International laws" like UNCLOS for SCS etc.

Is my understanding of this situation stupid or am just not well versed enough regarding the actual difference between the arguments I am referencing.
Mostly to do with the power of US backing that the Jews are able to do this. They is why when the USS as a nation falls (inevitable as it will be), the Jews ultimately are surrounded by Arabs and eventually the Jews will either have to settle their differences or they will eventually end up in serious trouble. Keep in mind that the Iron dome only have so much missiles they can use and their neighbours will eventually have Russian and Chinese backing so in the long term, things could change in the favour of the Palestinians soon. Still the Jews have been driven from the land a few times before, who’s to say they cannot be driven away again given how unGodly they have been recently (given they have murdered Jesus and continue to propagate hatred all the time and we saw how they were driven from the land by the Romans, who’s to say it cannot happen again) even they are not immune from some divine intervention. But still wait and see, the world is changing and Israel in the near future will not be in as good of a position as they are right now

Why not, just make it official then.
