Will Abbas' Successor Be More Moderate?
(Times of Israel) Avi Issacharoff - The day after Mahmoud Abbas departs, will his successor be a more moderate negotiating partner? Mohammed Dahlan's chances of returning from exile and taking over the leadership of Fatah and the PA are nil considering the hoard of enemies he's made in the Fatah leadership over the years. As for other candidates, Marwan Barghouti is sitting in an Israeli jail for five murders; Jibril Rajoub has taken a hard line against Israel in recent years; and Nasser al-Kidwa to this day accuses Israel of poisoning his uncle Yasser Arafat.
