Incitement, discrediting and subversion: Dahlan fights for reconciliation

Loop | The ousted leader of the “Fatah” movement and advisor to the rulers of Abu Dhabi, Muhammad Dahlan, continues to attack recent Palestinian understandings in an attempt to hamper them, especially since the recent “rapprochement” between the “Fatah” and “Hamas” movements, holding a meeting of the general secretaries and then agreeing to hold Palestinian General Elections, all of which sparked his ire, as well as his fears that he and his so-called “reform” movement would be excluded from the Palestinian political arena, after he wished replace the President of the Authority, Mahmoud Abbas. Palestinian sources transmit details of the “great efforts” that the Dahlan Movement is making to avoid “reconciliation”. During his contacts with Egyptian officials, he worked to incite Cairo against understandings, and to show that the two movements had begun to sidestep the Egyptian role in favor of the “axis of Qatar and Turkey” (see: The axis of normalization fights against the “Istanbul understandings” on October 5), which provoked a situation In suspicion and anger among the Egyptians, the two movements tried to avoid them, but to no avail.

This incitement is one of the reasons, as sources tell Al-Akhbar, behind the Egyptian withdrawal from the headquarters of the second meeting of general secretaries, after Cairo agreed in principle to hold the meeting on its territory, then it was He refused to take place in his Palestinian consulate and insisted that it be under Caring for and following up with the “General Intelligence”, for which this file is one of its functions (see the number of the day before yesterday). Dahlan believes that reconciliation and the holding of new elections will make him the biggest loser (see: Muhammad Dahlan … Burned Abu Dhabi card, Aug 25). As he will not be allowed to enter the elections and compete in them himself and his current one, which may lead to the end of the idea of ​​his assumption of the presidency through the elections, after he counted on obtaining many votes in case to stand in the legislative and presidential elections based on various factors, but holding elections with Abbas and denying him entry makes his chance The only one in other elections after the death of “Abu Mazen”, in which he will stand taking advantage of the expected disputes internally in “Fatah”, or will be forced to seek other paths. Abu Fadi has been known to go to great lengths in recent years to build a popular base for himself in the Gaza Strip, especially with the humanitarian aid provided and funded by the United Arab Emirates, which targets young people from universities. , poor families, unions and associations. All the Fatah children have adopted whom Ramallah cut their wages.

The ousted leader of “Fatah” continues to distribute Emirati aid in Gaza under the surveillance of the factions.

Since the meeting of the general secretaries of the factions last month in Beirut and Ramallah, media affiliated with his movement launched a campaign to question the ability of “Hamas” and “Fatah” to achieve reconciliation. In the same direction, electronic units owned by Dahlan and financed by Abu Dhabi, according to what “Al-Akhbar” learned from Palestinian sources, launched campaigns to distort and sabotage the “reconciliation”. He posted a series of fabricated news on social media, the most important of which is “the formation of a unified list between Hamas and Fatah” in the upcoming elections led by the latter’s “Central Committee” member, Azzam Al- Ahmad, and the current Vice President of the Legislative Council, Ahmed Bahr (Hamas), and other deputies. In parallel, Dahlan assigned a member of the Fatah Center who worked with him to negotiate with a group of forces and personalities to form what is called the “National List”, which includes “patriots, independent and vacillating within the parties, forces and civil society institutions “, to lead the electoral process under the name of this list in order to It would be part of the political structure to strengthen Dahlan’s influence and the plan to bring him to the presidency of the Authority, but he did not receive a large response to his passing, which he maintained as a precaution in case the understandings between “Fatah” and “Hamas” were towards his objective.
It is noteworthy that despite the agreement of the factions to restrict the work of the “reformist” in Gaza after the UAE and Bahrain signed normalization agreements with the Israeli enemy, in which Dahlan contributed in one way or another, the movement continues operating under the eyes of the factions, since it distributed, last week, aid to 80,000 families in the sector, with Emirati support, it avoided speaking in the media of this aid, for fear of shaming the factions that are still silent about their job.
