CAIRO — According to Abdel-Hakim Awad, a member of the Fatah Revolutionary Council and the Palestinian National Council, Fatah crowned President Mahmoud Abbas “king” of Fatah during its 2009 congress, but Abbas’ will and political achievements have been hijacked by a group of other leaders.
In an interview with Al-Monitor, Awad said he fears there is a hidden political agenda behind Abbas’ holding of the seventh general congress.
