Former Palestinian Minister: PA Failed to Establish a State Anchored in Democracy and the Rule of Law
(MEMRI) Former PA Minister of Jerusalem Affairs Ziad Abu Zayyad wrote in Al-Quds on Oct. 27, 2019, that the PA had built a state "from the top down," focusing on its outward characteristics, such as a flag and anthem, instead of building it "from the bottom up," i.e., caring for the citizens by granting them security, prosperity and a sense of belonging. He called to rebuild the Palestinian state upon the principles of the rule of law and democracy, lest it turn into yet another corrupt, failing and tribal Arab regime.
