Fatah Official: Prisoner Release Will Make Things Worse for Abbas
[Jerusalem Post] Khaled Abu Toameh - The release of 250 Palestinian security prisoners from Israeli jails is unlikely to boost the standing of PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and Fatah. All the freed prisoners are expected to belong to Fatah. A senior Fatah official admitted on Sunday, "The release of the Fatah prisoners could only make matters worse for us, because it will look as if Israel is rewarding Fatah for agreeing to collaborate with the Israelis and Americans."
