Israel is responsible for the resignation of Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad. That is what Daoud Kuttab claims in an article in Al-Monitor titled, “Israeli Occupation Brings Down Fayyad.”

“His biggest enemies, as are the enemies of all Palestinians, were the Israeli occupiers whose policies, despite public rhetoric to the opposite, are to perpetuate the occupation indefinitely.”
