It just won't happen
"The conference will hear proposals for an investigation into the events that saw Hamas eject Fatah forces and take control of Gaza by force in 2007 — with many blaming Dahlan for having at least partly provoked the takeover. Demanding an inquiry and targeting one of his key allies is seen as another means of weakening Abbas' authority. A second target will be Prime Minister Salam Fayyad, a political independent appointed by Abbas at Washington's behest, although over strong opposition from both Hamas and Fatah." To argue for accountability or investigation in Fath is like advocating for peace in the Bush administration. (thanks David)
