(KUNA) -- The Central Committee of the Paleostinian movement Fatah has decided to suspend membership of Mohammad Dahlan as a result of disagreements with President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas, according to sources.Committee insiders told Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) on Tuesday that the commission decided to suspend Dahlan's membership and unseat him as the chairman of the culture and information sub-committee, following disagreements with the president.
Dahlan's membership was suspended pending conclusion of investigations by a special panel after he addressed criticisms to the president over the latter's policies, the sources told KUNA.
Abbas has chaired a recent meeting of the committee and briefed the members about latest contacts and consultations at various levels, within the framework of the peace efforts.
The Paleostinian president has officially expressed staunch opposition to re-launch of "the armed struggle" at full scale, vis a vis Israel's intransigence to soften its stance on the settlement issue, and has frequently stressed that diplomacy remained the best and most fruitful option for the Paleostinians to resort to.
