Fatah leaders conspire to unseat Paleo PM to pre-empt his control of the boodle
Our sources report the revolt is led by ousted Gaza strongman Mohammed Dahlan, jailed terrorist Marwan Barghouti and Ahmed Qureia, chief Palestinian negotiator with Israel. If Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas stands in their way, the Fatah leaders propose cutting Fayyad off from exercising his authority on the West Bank. The revolt was sparked, DEBKAfiles Palestinian sources reveal, by the international donors allocation of $7.4 bn for state-building at their Paris conference five days ago. Dahlan and Co. are determined not to let this bonanza fall into the hands of a Fatah outsider, whose appointment was forced on them by Washington.Why it's always $$$, and never cherche la fam with these people? Oh, never mind. Posted by: g(r)omgoru 2007-12-22 |
