Several Arab states, including the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Egypt and Jordan, are exerting efforts to reorganise the Fatah movement and unite it in order to defeat Hamas in the upcoming elections,
Arabi Post reported on Friday.
The Arab states are pressuring Fatah, Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) and Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas to reinstate dismissed Fatah leader Mohammed Dahlan and his supporters.
Abbas dismissed Dahlan from the movement in 2011 and stripped him of all his merits, including membership to the Fatah Revolutionary Council and Palestinian parliament.
