House of Saud media: "Meanwhile, I am hearing about a new role for Mohammad Dahlan, or his rehabilitation so that he enters the front lines of Fatah, after his exit from Gaza. Dahlan has fervent supporters, just as he has equally ardent opponents and rivals. There are Arab and non-Arab states that support him. He is bold and intelligent and personally I do not rule out Abbas getting angry one day and resigning, leaving a vacuum. I hope that this does not happen, since he is a guarantee for the Palestinians'
future." (thanks ls)
