Split between Locals and Tunis "Outsiders" Still Divides Palestinians
(Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Pinhas Inbari - The real struggle within the Palestinians' leadership is between the local Palestinians and the "outside" Fatah leaders from Tunis who arrived after the Oslo Accords. In the recent fake reconciliation talks between Fatah and Hamas in Turkey, Fatah asked Hamas to cooperate against former Fatah security official Mohammed Dahlan, and Hamas refused. One reason is that Hamas also feels itself part of the local, "inside" leadership and not the PA leadership from "outside."
