Former Palestinian PM Fayyad Draws PA Fire for New Reconciliation Plan
(Times of Israel) Avi Issacharoff - On Tuesday, former PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad presented a plan to end the split between Fatah and Hamas and open a path intended to lead to the establishment of a Palestinian state. On Wednesday, the official PA news agency described Fayyad's plan as an "attempt to destroy decades of Palestinian struggle." Fayyad's plan envisioned a prolonged ceasefire with Israel. However, Palestinian sources said the plan was interpreted by PA leader Mahmoud Abbas as a direct challenge to his rule, and sources close to Abbas were quick to attack the plan.
