Fatah, in Disarray, Torn by Mutual Recriminations
[Jerusalem Post] Khaled Abu Toameh - A top Fatah leader and adviser to PA Chairman Abbas was fired on Thursday for criticizing senior Fatah officials who were responsible for the defeat of their faction in Gaza. The dismissal of Hani al-Hassan, a former PA interior minister, is yet another sign of the growing tensions inside Fatah in the wake of Hamas' takeover of Gaza. "Fatah is facing a very dangerous crisis," said a senior Fatah official in Ramallah. "Many Fatah leaders and activists are unhappy with the way Abbas and the Fatah leadership have been handling the current crisis. If we don't get our act together, we will lose the West Bank to Hamas."
