 [IsraelTimes] Nasser al-Qidwa, a member of Fatah’s powerful central committee and Yasser Arafat’s nephew, has long been an Abbas critic; says he hopes the imprisoned Barghouti will head his bloc.Fatah Central Committee member Nasser al-Qidwa on Wednesday declared his support for a separate bloc to run in the scheduled Paleostinian elections, in the latest blow to the unity of the West Bank’s ruling faction.
