Former PA Minister: Fatah Should Ally with Iran
[Maan News-PA] The time has come for Fatah to seek a strategic alliance with Iran, the movement's Jerusalem affairs liaison Hatim Abdul Qader said Saturday. Fatah's rival, Hamas, is known to have warm relations with Iran. Abdul Qader encouraged the upcoming Fatah conference to adopt a political program that formulates new relations with Iran due to its strategic importance and influence. He argued that Iran's power in the region ought to be exploited to serve the Palestinian cause. Last month, the PLO's top negotiator, Saeb Erekat, met with Iran's foreign minister.
