Fatah Infighting Jeopardizes Kerry's Peace Process
(Gatestone Institute) Khaled Abu Toameh - Senior members of PA President Mahmoud Abbas' ruling Fatah faction have stepped up their efforts to remove him from power. The internal squabbling in Fatah casts doubts on Abbas' ability or willingness to sign any peace agreement with Israel. These are not mere tensions or disagreements among politicians. Rather, they mark the beginning of an inevitable split that could result in the creation of a rival, anti-Abbas Fatah group, headed by some of his arch-enemies, including former PA security chief Mohammed Dahlan.
