The issue of Fatah-affiliated MP Mohammed Dahlan has once again topped Palestinian news, as proceedings at the Constitutional Court are to be held on March 28, to consider the appeal presented by Dahlan against President Mahmoud Abbas’s decision to strip him of immunity.
The different views on “Dahlan’s immunity” reflect the deep conflict within Fatah between those who support Dahlan and those who oppose him. Meanwhile, some figures in Fatah say that efforts are being made to persuade Abbas to withdraw the presidential decree to lift immunity before the court’s session.
