How holding Palestinian elections threatens to expose Fatah. Tue Feb 9, 2021 The Palestinian attempt to appease the Biden administration by holding Palestinian elections threatens to reveal the flabbiness and collapse of Fatah, which lies at the heart of the Palestinian Authority. Abbas had barred members of the Fatah Central Committee, Revolutionary Council, and Consultative Council from running in the upcoming legislative elections. This ban also included current ministers, ambassadors, governors, security officials, and former members of the Legislative Council. Abdel Fattah Hamayel, a senior member of Fatah and former governor of Bethlehem, posted a message on Facebook in which he indicated that Abbas would be responsible if he were killed. “This [post] is an official complaint to all legal departments and human rights institutions,” he added.
