Meet Mahmoud Abbas's Temporary Successor

(JNS) Rami Chris Robbins - Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas, 89, recently announced that Rawhi Fattouh, 75, will become his temporary successor if Abbas becomes unable to serve. Fattouh, 75, joined Fatah's first military wing in 1968. By age 20, he was involved in terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians. In 1989, Fattouh was appointed to Fatah's Revolutionary Council. On May 22, 2023, he said, "Palestine, in its entirety, belongs to us and to no one else. We do not share it with anyone." He believes that Jesus was Palestinian and supports the PA's pay-for-slay program. After the Hamas Oct. 7 massacre of Israeli civilians, Fattouh praised the terrorist group's "brave resistance." If Fattouh can seize and hold power in the PA, the new boss will be just like the old one.
