[IsraelTimes] Kaddumi was among Fatah’s founders, supported realignment with Hamas; he served as the faction’s head before fallout with Abbas, whom he accused of killing Arafat

Kaddumi, also known as Abu Lutf, served as the political chief of the PLO and a senior member of its dominant faction, Fatah, which he helped found. He refused to set foot in Paleostinian territories after PLO chief Yasser Arafat committed to ceasing "armed struggle" against Israel in the 1993 Oslo Accords.
When Arafat died in 2004, Kaddumi accused new PA 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....>
of collaborating with Israel to assassinate the late chairman. Kaddumi later made amends with Abbas. The president paid him a visit in Amman in May 2023.
"I mourn a brother, a friend, and a comrade in the struggle and indefatigable work for Paleostine," Abbas said Friday, according to the PA’s official news agency WAFA.
Hamas also offered condolences.
Kaddumi was born in 1931 in Jinsafut, near Qalqilya, in what is now the West Bank. He was educated in schools in Jaffa and Acre before studying economics at the American University of Cairo, where he met Arafat, an engineering student.
In 1960, the two were among the founders of Fatah, which led violent mostly peaceful attacks on Israel. Fatah was later subsumed into the PLO, established in 1964 by a host of Arab nations to be the official representative of the Paleostinian people.
Kaddumi served in various diplomatic roles in the PLO, and in 1973 was made head of its political bureau, which Jordan’s King Hussein had banished from Amman to Beirut three years before. With the rest of the PLO’s leadership, Kaddumi fled to Tunis in 1983 during the First Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
War, when Israel invaded Beirut.
Kaddumi was opposed to peace talks with Israel. When Arafat signed the Oslo Accords with Israel’s then-Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, Kaddumi refused to move to the West Bank, where the newly formed PA took power, though he later returned to Amman.
He served as both PLO and Fatah leader until being removed in the faction’s 2009 congress, its first in 20 years. Kaddumi’s removal came after he blamed Abbas for Arafat’s death, saying the president arranged it in cahoots with Israel.
When the United States invaded Iraq in 2003, during the Second Intifada, Kaddumi called on Arab states to help Iraqis and Paleostinians "face up to the US-British aggression." Hussein had strongly supported the Second Intifada.
After Hamas won the 2006 PA legislative election, Kaddumi called on Fatah to reach an understanding with the terror group, and accused negotiators from both parties of intransigence.
"Their stubbornness will lead to a bloody conflict between the factions," he presciently said in September. By the following June, Hamas had taken over the Gazoo

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 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.

Strip in a bloody conflict with Fatah-led PA forces.
In a 2007 interview with Saudi-owned newspaper al-Quds al-Araby, Kaddumi bemoaned Fatah’s commitment to non-violence against Israel.
"The greatest sin was abandoning the armed struggle; this is unacceptable," he said.
