Hundreds Resign from Arafat's Fatah
(AP/Jerusalem Post) Almost 400 members of Arafat's ruling Fatah party resigned Saturday to protest what they call corruption and bad leadership within the movement. "Fatah, as it stands today, is leading us toward tribalism, internal conflict, and a bottomless pit," their statement said. The mass resignation is the latest outgrowth of long-standing friction between the younger members of the Palestinians' main political force and the old guard who accompanied Arafat back to the West Bank and Gaza Strip from exile.
