"National Rescue Initiative" Challenges Palestinian Leadership, Seeks Reforms
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - Nasser al-Kidwa, a former PA foreign minister and envoy to the UN, and a group of 65 Palestinian personalities on Tuesday launched a new initiative for major reforms and changes in the Palestinian political system and institutions. Al-Kidwa was expelled from the ruling Fatah faction's Central Committee last year after he formed his own list to participate in the parliamentary elections, which were called off by PA President Mahmoud Abbas. The announcement came amid growing criticism of the Palestinian leadership over rampant financial and administrative corruption, anarchy and lawlessness.
