GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Nasser al-Qudwa, dismissed member of Fatah’s Central Committee and former minister of foreign affairs, arrived in the Gaza Strip April 14, on his first visit to the enclave in years, as part of efforts to mobilize Gazan votes for the legislative elections slated for May.
On March 11, Qudwa was dismissed from the Fatah movement after establishing a separate current dubbed the Palestinian Democratic Assembly (PDA) on March 2. He also formed an electoral list, named the Freedom List, with imprisoned Fatah leader Marwan al-Barghouti.
