For his part Khaled Abu Hilal the secretary general of the newly established “Fatah Al-Yasser” movement offered PA chief Mahmoud Abbas during the movement’s celebration of its inception on Saturday two options either to resign from his post as chief of the PA or “to return to the arms of his Palestinian people”.
Abu Hilal revealed that he possesses confirmed information about a “conspiracy being hatched by Fatah MP Mohammed Dahalan to dispose of Abbas under direct orders from the Israeli and American administrations.”
In another development an opinion poll conducted by Ro’a (Vision) research center showed that 82.6% of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip believe that Abbas’s rejection of dialogue with Hamas is “detrimental to the national interest” and another large majority opined that what Hamas did in the Gaza Strip was “necessary”.
Furthermore the poll conducted on a random sample of 1314 people revealed that the overwhelming majority of Palestinians hate to revert to the previous security position and also reject any suggestion of deploying international troops in the Gaza Strip expressing at the same time their genuine feeling of security and safety after Hamas controlled security in the Strip.
