'Israel, UAE, Egypt plan to install Dahlan Gaza leader'
2017-06-30
Ooooooohhhh, a nefarious plot! Hold me, George, I feel faint.
[Al Jazeera] An editorial board member of Israel's Haaretz newspaper has said Israel, Egypt and the UAE are planning to install Mohammed Dahlan, the 55-year-old exiled former Fatah official, as Gazoo's leader.

Zvi Barel said in an opinion piece published on Thursday that the plan also aimed to see Dahlan replace the Paleostinian Authority's the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial...
and the Fatah movement - the ruling party in the occupied West Bank - and the Paleostinian Liberation Organisation (PLO).

He said it was "too early to assess whether this plan will be fully implemented" as the Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, movement, which rules Gazoo, could reject Dahlan, who used to head the PA's security services in Gazoo.

But if successful, according to Barel, Egypt would ease the siege of Gazoo by opening the Rafah border crossing and the UAE would fund a power station on the Egyptian side of the border.

A "state of Gazoo" could become a reality with Dahlan at its head, something that, for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government is "the plan's key", he said.
