The Dahlan enigma: One Palestinian leader isn’t condemning the Israel-UAE deal
|
[IsraelTimes] Some Paleostinian officials believe Emirates-backed Mohammad Dahlan, a former top security official to PA President Abbas, was involved in the move to normalize ties.
Prominent figures in Paleostinian politics condemned the normalization agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates as a betrayal. The PA itself called the deal "despicable" and demanded it be reversed. Said Saeb Erekat
...negotiated the Oslo Accords with Israel. He has been chief Paleostinian negotiator since 1995. He is currently negotiating with Israel to establish a de jure Paleostinian state...
, the veteran Paleostinian negotiator, "I never expected this poison dagger to come from an Arab country."

But there was no such condemnation from Mohammad Dahlan,
...the 59 year old former Fatah youth leader in Gaza who acquired both Montenegrin and Serbian citizenship, nations to which his devotion is obvious as he lives with his family in Abu Dhabi as the UAE’s favourite Palestinian... the former Fatah chief and preventive security head in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
and an ex-PA security minister, who has lived in the Emirates since he was expelled from the West Bank in 2011 following a bitter and bloody political dispute with the current Paleostinian Authority leadership.
Dahlan is widely seen as a serious rival and potential successor to long-ruling Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
...aka Abu Mazen, a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial. While no Yasser Arafat, he has his own brand of evil, just a little more lowercase....
If Paleostinian opinion polling is any indication, Dahlan is not nearly as popular as other challengers to Mahmoud Abbas, receiving only six percent in one election survey — far behind other potential successors such as Tanzim’s
...an armed offshoot of Fatah formed by Yasser Arafat in 1995 to give that generation of eagerly murderous Palestinian youngsters an alternative to Hamas. The second Intifada was their war... Marwan Barghouti
...who is serving five consecutive life sentences in Israeli prison for murder... and Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,’s Ismail Haniyeh
...became Prime Minister of Gaza after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continues as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintains a separate PM in the West Bank...
But Dahlan has both a loyal following in the Gaza Strip, where he was born, and a rising regional patron: the UAE. Since settling there in 2011, Dahlan has become an important adviser to the Emirates’ leader, Mohammed Bin Zayed al-Nahyan.
After the Emirates announced normalization with Israel, the Democratic Reform Current, the Dahlan-affiliated movement within Fatah, released a carefully worded statement saying that it had "followed the [agreement] with extreme interest." The pro-Dahlan faction’s position could be parsed as tentative praise or strategic neutrality — but certainly not condemnation.
"We recall the historical role played by the UAE in supporting our steadfast persistence and revolution, and its constant support for our struggle to achieve freedom... We hope that the Emirates always respects Paleostinian interests and employs all its relationships in the framework of a strategy which aims to end the occupation," the Democratic Reform Current said.
In Ramallah, meanwhile, some officials said they believed Dahlan had been directly involved in the normalization agreement.
"Dahlan has previously acted against the interests of his people and his homeland," senior Abbas advisor Nabil Sha’ath told al-Khaleej Online. "He also played a role in the UAE-Israel agreement — which clears the way for total normalization — and he should be ashamed of himself."
Unsubstantiated rumors had already circulated as early as June that Dahlan had played a role in orchestrating two shipments of coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
 ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
aid that Abu Dhabi said was intended for the Paleostinians, who rejected the aid at the time, saying that it had not been coordinated with them.
Ties between the UAE and the Paleostinian Authority were frozen in 2012, although the PA maintains an ambassador in the country (who it said it was recalling after Thursday’s normalization agreement was announced). The last time Abbas visited the UAE was in 2011, when he met Emirati Crown Prince Muhammed bin Zayed in Abu Dhabi.
The UAE, once a major financial backer of the PA, long ago stopped sending funds to the Ramallah-based government. Publicly available PA Finance Ministry records show the UAE sent an average of $87.8 million annually to the PA between 2008 and 2013. In 2014, the money ceased to flow into the PA’s bank accounts. Instead, the UAE began directing its cash to independent institutions such as the United Nations
...a formerly good idea gone bad...
Thousands of Paleostinians — including some who hold PA passports — continue to live and work in the Emirates.
Some observers blamed Dahlan for the deterioration in relations. Since his exile in the UAE began, the PA has investigated and charged him for several offenses, including alleged corruption. He was tried in absentia by a Paleostinian court in 2016 and sentenced to three years in prison.
