Palestinian President Abbas Names Hussein al-Sheikh as First PLO Vice President

ai generated text

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has appointed Hussein al-Sheikh, a close aide and veteran leader of his Fatah movement, as the first ever vice president of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). This move is seen as part of an effort to reform the PLO, following years of international pressure. Al-Sheikh's appointment is also viewed as a way for Abbas to consolidate power and play a major role in the post-war governance of the Gaza Strip, with the hope of boosting his image among Palestinians.

    1. We undertake the coordination because this is the prelude to a political solution for ending the occupation.
    2. I am not a representative for Israel in the Palestinian territories.

    1. Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas appointed Hussein al-Sheikh as a deputy (vice president) of the PLO leadership.

    1. Israel knows and trusts him more than they know and trust Abbas himself. And Abbas, as we all know, has been the ultimate pragmatic/moderate leader within the Palestinian Authority, much to the liking of the United States and European Union, even if he's not to the liking of [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu and his ilk.

    Hani Al-Masri
    1. This is not a reform measure but rather a response to external pressure.

    1. The Palestinian political system is already miserable, so I believe that all these arrangements are a prelude to creating a successor to Abbas.
