Senior Egyptian Intelligence Chief Mocks Abbas in Leaked Phone Call with Dahlan
(Middle East Eye) A leaked telephone conversation between Maj.-Gen. Wael el-Safty, in charge of the Palestinian portfolio for Egypt's General Intelligence Directorate, and exiled Palestinian strongman Mohammed Dahlan was revealed Saturday by Mekameleen, a Turkey-based Egyptian satellite television channel known for its support of the Muslim Brotherhood. Safty refers to PA President Mahmoud Abbas, 81, as someone whose "concentration isn't at full capacity" and "has nothing to offer." "He isn't smart at all....He doesn't want to change, he doesn't want to do anything."
