🚨President Mahmoud Abbas elevates his son & multiple cronies to the (de facto) highest decision-making Palestinian body through rigged elections
The Fatah central committee election saw the total exclusion of any opponents of Abbas (e.g. Dahalan's current) & was overstuffed with non-Fatah members (e.g. security agencies officers, PA employees).
Some of the most popular & competent of Fatah leaders didn't make it into the central committee, while Abbas' son (whose key qualification is merely being the president's son) was "voted" in along with multiple loyalists to Hussain Al-Shaikh (the vice-president & single most unpopular figure inside Fatah).
The election results now give a total grip on Fatah (& subsequently on the PA & PLO) to Al-Shaikh & the Abbas family.
