Kwartet Arabski (Egipt, Arabia Saudyjska, Jordania i Zjednoczone Emiraty Arabskie) kontynuuje starania, by doprowadzi\u0107 do pojednania wewn\u0105trz Fatahu i by sk\u0142oni\u0107 Mahmouda Abbasa do wyznaczenia nast\u0119pcy. Ostatnio Abbas odrzuci\u0142 inicjatyw\u0119 Kwartetu, by dokona\u0142 takiego mianowania z powodu tego, \u017ce nie mo\u017ce zaakceptowa\u0107 ingerencji arabskiej w sprawy palesty\u0144skie<\/A> [1].<\/A> <\/I> W mediach arabskich pisano, \u017ce w celu rozwi\u0105zania tej kwestii 9 listopada 2016 r. delegacja wysokiego szczebla Ligi Arabskiej odwiedzi\u0142a Abbasa w Ramallah. W sk\u0142ad delegacji wchodzili sekretarz Ligi Arabskiej, Ahmad Abu Al-Gheit i jego dw\u00f3ch poprzednik\u00f3w, 'Amr Moussa i Nabil Al-Arabi. Przybyli oni do Ramallah pod pretekstem uczestnictwa w otwarciu Muzeum Arafata. Wed\u0142ug doniesie\u0144 ta tr\u00f3jka pr\u00f3bowa\u0142a wywiera\u0107 naciski na Abbasa, by wybra\u0142 nast\u0119pc\u0119, a tak\u017ce pr\u00f3bowali przekona\u0107 go, by pojedna\u0142 si\u0119 z Muhammadem Dahlanem – kt\u00f3ry uprzednio by\u0142 cz\u0142onkiem Palesty\u0144skiej Rady Ustawodawczej z ramienia Fatahu oraz szefem si\u0142 bezpiecze\u0144stwa w Gazie, a teraz jest proponowanym nast\u0119pc\u0105 – jak r\u00f3wnie\u017c, by pozwoli\u0142 mu na powr\u00f3t na scen\u0119 polityczn\u0105 po wyrzuceniu go z Fatahu w 2011 r., oraz by zaprzesta\u0142 prze\u015bladowania jego i jego zwolennik\u00f3w.<\/I> Strona internetowa Arabi21, kt\u00f3ra jest zbli\u017cona do Bractwa Muzu\u0142ma\u0144skiego, podaje w doniesieniu z 12 listopada, \u017ce wizyta delegacji w Ramallah i jej spotkanie z Abbasem prowadzone by\u0142o \u201ez dala od reflektor\u00f3w medi\u00f3w\u201d w celu unikni\u0119cia podejrzenia o normalizacj\u0119 z Izraelem, a tak\u017ce z powodu dra\u017cliwej natury spotkania – to jest, mianowania nast\u0119pcy Abbasa<\/A> [2].<\/A> <\/I> 16 listopada niezale\u017cna gazeta islamistyczna w Egipcie, \u201c<\/I>Al-Misriyyoun\u201d, opublikowa\u0142a d\u0142ugie sprawozdanie z tej sprawy. Wed\u0142ug gazety Abu Al-Gheit przedstawi\u0142 Abbasowi nazwiska trzech mo\u017cliwych nast\u0119pc\u00f3w: by\u0142ego ministra spraw zagranicznych i siostrze\u0144ca Arafata, Nassera Al-Qidwy; cz\u0142onka Fatahu, Marwana Al-Barghoutiego, kt\u00f3ry odbywa pi\u0119\u0107 kar do\u017cywocia w Izraelu za zorganizowanie atak\u00f3w terrorystycznych podczas drugiej intifady; i Dahlana. W gazecie wyja\u015bniono, \u017ce kraje arabskie, a szczeg\u00f3lnie Egipt, nalega\u0142y na ustalenie nast\u0119pcy Abbasa, poniewa\u017c gdyby Abbas odszed\u0142 ze sceny politycznej bez wyznaczenia nast\u0119pcy, stanowisko prezydenta AP mog\u0142oby przypa\u015b\u0107 przewodnicz\u0105cemu Palesty\u0144skiej Rady Ustawodawczej i funkcjonariuszowi Hamasu, 'Azizowi Dweikowi, daj\u0105c Hamasowi przycz\u00f3\u0142ek w kierownictwie AP<\/A> [3].<\/A> <\/I> Zar\u00f3wno Arabi2, jak \u201c<\/I>Al-Misryyoun\u201d informowa\u0142y, \u017ce Abbas odrzuci\u0142 \u017c\u0105dania delegacji, mimo ich gr\u00f3\u017ab, \u017ce spotkaj\u0105 go sankcje i straci legitymacj\u0119 w oczach Ligi Arabskiej. <\/I> Nale\u017cy wspomnie\u0107, \u017ce w ostatnich tygodniach w prasie egipskiej ukaza\u0142y si\u0119 artyku\u0142y, kt\u00f3re ostro krytykowa\u0142y Abbasa za jego odpowied\u017a na pr\u00f3by mediacji przez Kwartet Arabski<\/A> [4].<\/A> <\/I> Poni\u017cej podajemy fragmenty artyku\u0142u z \u201e<\/I>Al-Misriyyoun\u201d<\/A> [5].<\/A> <\/I> [Ci\u0105g dalszy opracowania nie jest spolszczony]<\/I><\/B> Al-Misriyyoun<\/I><\/B>: 'Abbas Determined To Prevent Dahlan’s Return To Political Scene<\/B> The Al-Misriyyoun<\/I> article stated: „Egypt’s relations with PA President Mahmoud 'Abbas have entered a dark tunnel, after a visit by a high-level delegation, headed by Arab League Secretary-General Ahmad Abu Al-Gheit and also including two former secretary-generals of the Arab League, 'Amr Moussa and Nabil Al-Arabi, failed [to achieve the desired results]. The delegation discussed [with 'Abbas] ways to resolve the crisis within Fatah and pump new blood into the reconciliation between the West Bank and Gaza. Knowledgeable sources reported that Ahmad Abu Al-Gheit demanded that 'Abbas agree to the return of Fatah official Muhammad Dahlan to the political scene, and that he stop persecuting [Dahlan’s] supporters in the movement and maligning him, after 'Abbas accused him of involvement in the assassination of the late Palestinian president Yasser Arafat. 'Abbas did not agree to the demands, and expressed his determination to convene the Fatah General Assembly that will consolidate [his position] as both Fatah chairman and PA president. „The sources claimed that the high-level Egyptian delegation was surprised by 'Abbas’s inflexible positions on all issues. Moreover, 'Abbas also criticized the Arab states’ intervention in a Palestinian matter, while rejecting all the demands, especially the demand to appoint a successor for the role of PA president who will be acceptable to the Arab states, in light of his own failing health.” Al-Misriyyoun<\/I><\/B>: Three Candidates To Succeed 'Abbas Were Proposed – Nasser Al-Qidwa, Marwan Al-Barghouti, And Muhammad Dahlan<\/B> According to the Al-Misriyyoun<\/I> report, „Ahmad Abu Al-Gheit proposed three candidates to succeed 'Abbas: former [PA] foreign minister and Arafat’s nephew Nasser Al-Qidwa, [former] Fatah secretary in the West Bank Marwan Al-Barghouti, and [former] head of Preventive Security in Gaza, Muhammad Dahlan. 'Abbas refused, and informed [Abu Al-Gheit] of his intention to remove Dahlan from all Fatah institutions so as to prevent him from attaining any political position in the future, and also [of his intention] to gain the support of Fatah’s next [i.e. seventh] General Assembly for his decision. 'Abbas’s stubbornness on the Dahlan issue enraged the Arab states, headed by Egypt, who are very interested in naming 'Abbas successor, so as to be prepared for a deterioration in the state of his health or any possibility of his disappearance from the political scene. [The absence of a successor] will enable [Palestinian] Legislative Council Speaker 'Aziz Al-Dweik, a Hamas leader, to take 'Abbas’s place, giving Hamas a foothold in Palestinian decision-making, a possibility to which Egypt strongly objects.” Al-Misroyyoun<\/I><\/B>: Cairo Threatened Sanctions Against 'Abbas Should He Refuse To Appoint A Successor<\/B> The report stated further that „Cairo threatened to take sanctions against 'Abbas if he rejected its efforts to appoint a successor, and expressed willingness to reach an agreement with Israel in order to release Marwan Barghouti [from prison], should 'Abbas accept him as the successor – and this as a signal to 'Abbas that the successor does not necessarily have to be Dahlan, whom he still rejects… „According to observers, 'Abbas’s rejection of the Arab states’ mediation in resolving the crisis with Dahlan or appointing a successor will lead to a deep crisis with the Arab Quartet (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the UAE). He will be bereft of Arab support and will be isolated, as [the late] Palestinian president Yasser Arafat was isolated before his death.” International Relations Expert To Al-Misriyyoun<\/I>: 'Abbas Is Irrelevant; Dahlan Is Popular<\/B> According to the daily, Sa’id Al-Lawandi, an expert in international relations at Al-Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies, „believes that 'Abbas became irrelevant in the eyes of all Arab states after he refused every compromise proposed by the Arab Quartet regarding naming his successor, while Dahlan enjoys overt Arab support, since he is one of the few people able to restrain Hamas and keep it from taking over the [Palestinian] Authority. Al-Lawandi said in exclusive statements to Al-Misriyyoun<\/I> that Dahlan has good relations with Israel, he is highly popular within Fatah, and he has close ties with the Arab states. In fact, he remains the top candidate to succeed 'Abbas should [the latter] vanish from the Palestinian scene. He noted that some Arab states were grooming Dahlan as 'Abbas’s successor, and this was the cause of the crisis between 'Abbas and the Arab states that have influence in the Palestinian arena and have been long [pushing] Dahlan as an alternative to 'Abbas.” Former Arab League Assistant Secretary-General To Al-Misriyyoun<\/I>: There Are Indications That Dahlan Will Be PA President<\/B> The daily also presented statements by Sa’id Kamal, a former Arab League assistant secretary-general, who „revealed that PA President Mahmoud 'Abbas is expected to quit politics due to a deterioration in his health, and that Dahlan is slated to take his place due to his considerable popularity. In exclusive statements to Al-Misriyyoun<\/I>, Kamal noted that there have long been indications that Dahlan will be the [next] PA president, but that he will face the same fate [as 'Abbas], namely the Gaza-West Bank conflict. [Kamal] noted that the next Fatah Assembly, scheduled to take place in a few weeks, will discuss various political issues, including 'Abbas’s future and the future of Fatah and the PA, due to the Arab [states’] desire to settle matters to the satisfaction of the mother Palestinian movement [i.e. Fatah].” Former Egyptian Assistant Foreign Minister To Al-Misriyyoun<\/I>: Barghouti Is Unlikely To Be 'Abbas’s Successor<\/B> „In a different context, former [Egyptian] assistant foreign minister Ahmad Al-Qweisni [also] said that whoever succeeds 'Abbas as PA president will face the same problems 'Abbas faced. In exclusive statements to Al-Misriyyoun,<\/I> Al-Qweisni stressed that, if 'Abbas dies, Fatah’s policy will change, and many other aspects of the movement could change as well. He noted that there are several candidates for successor to 'Abbas, one of them Dahlan, despite the rivalry between the two. However, he rejected the possibility of Marwan Barghouti holding public office, [noting] that he will certainly not be [the PA president], unless the Palestinian people insist on this.” <\/A> [1] <\/A> See MEMRI Inquiry & Analysis No. 1270, Tension Between Mahmoud 'Abbas, Arab Quartet Over Initiative For Internal Reconciliation In Fatah<\/A>, September 27, 2016.
