Dahlan: Fatah Never Recognized Israel -Khaled Abu Toameh
Former Fatah security commander Muhammad Dahlan [pictured above], in an interview on the PA's Palestine TV, called on Hamas not to recognize Israel's right to exist, pointing out that Fatah had never recognized it.
Dahlan was recently appointed as a special adviser to PA leader Mahmoud Abbas. "I want to reaffirm that we are not asking Hamas to recognize Israel's right to exist. Rather, we are asking Hamas not to do so because Fatah never recognized Israel's right to exist," Dahlan said.
"We acknowledge that the PLO did recognize Israel's right to exist, but we [in Fatah] are not bound by it."

Well, he is the "former" security commander. Who can say? If all of Fatah starts backing Hamas, that will not be a good development, but I do not think there is a future in it for Fatah. Good to be able to drop by though, it has been very busy!
Hope you're right.
Good to have you back!!
