Abbas, who and the president of the Palestinian authority (PA), promised during the urgent Arabic summit in early March that a position was created. However, it remains unclear who will eventually meet the post.
The goal is to prevent the fight against Abbas after the abbas is performed – a script that Israel could use to cause collapse and, completely clean Gaza, Al Jazeera experts.
Yet Dianna Butt, a former legal advisor, believes that he creates a vice-presidential post in so he will not transfer the struggle for power after Abbas cannot worsen the conflict.
“The more fragmented, which will more create a vacuum power … and that vacuum will fill out external actors, and mostly Americans and Israeli,” she warned.
Legitimate crisis
Abbas, 89, Taken Control of the PLO and and after the Palestinian Leader Yasser Arafat died in November 2004. And there is ruled without a popular mandate of solvent parliament 2007. years.
His Fatah Party is dominated by the PLO. Long-permeable parliament faded and Critics slammed abbas For seemingly undermining the attempts to maintain the choices that could revive it.
In the absence of parliament, the Successus has delayed the task of the Abbas, including the abolition last year for Rawhi Fattouh, the head of the Palestinian National Council, became a temporary president if he became a sudden time until the elections were held.
“Abbas broke that out of fear to, if he brought anyone forward, then there would be an adjunior,” Khaled Elginy, a visiting scholarship holder in the center of Georgetown University Center for Contemporary Arab studies.
So he created a peace agreement Oslo, signed by Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin 1993. and 1995. years.
The task with the management of Western Bank and Gaz until the Palestinian state was created, so it lost credibility among Palestinians as the Israeli occupation became more violent and oppressive for the Israeli settlement.
From Oslo, the population of the settlement, illegally under international law, built on the Palestinian country, increased by about 200,000 to more than 750,000.
In 2007, violent divided with Hamas in Gaza in Gaza limited PA’s authority for parts of the occupied western bank that he had a certain limited control.
So he managed to become a representative of De Facto Palestin at the international phase, replacing the PLO.
But at home Abbas’s popularity slipped as suffering people and so he continued his security coordination with Israel, which pointed out in Oslo chords.
Well, it is also visible that it has failed to protect Palestinians from Israeli troops and immigrants while using their authority to shoot civilian activists and opponents.
This has resulted in a situation in whichever he appoints, “Abbas’s handwritten will not probably win people,” Elginy said Al Jazeera said.
The name was most often suggested that Abbas’s close commission and the Secretary General of the Executive Board of the PLO Husein Al-Sheikh.
Al-Sheikh also leads the general government and for civilian affairs, which issues Israeli approved permits that enable several Palestinians to move to the limitations of the development of Israel is carried out in the occupied western bank.
Human Rights Groups and the International Court of Justice – the most legal body in the world – see Israel’s restriction movement against Palestinians as apartheid.
Sheikh’s long-term relationship with Israeli authorities led to accuse the critics from being treated as an occupation relationship.
“No one loves him (among the Palestinians),” Omar Rahman said, an expert in Israel-Palestine with the Middle Eastern Council for Global Affairs. “(Al-Sheikh) is strengthened with his relationship to Israel and perception (that he entered into) mass corruption.”
External pressure
The pressure on Abba was erupted by a succession and flowed over the years, intensifying in recent months while Arab states push him to be appointed from being dissolved in chaos, analysts said analysts.
Egypt is especially eager to ensure succession, according to Rachman.
In March, Egypt called on and hosted the Arab League Summit, during which he discovered his Gaza renewal plan To propose to the President of the United States, Donald Trump’s proposal to the ethnic cleansing of Gaza and turn him into the “Middle East Riviera”.
Egypt is mentioned as one of the countries in which Palestinians could be “transferred in”, the idea is that it was firmly rejected and confronted its renewal plan.
The proposal included the creation of the Palestinian technocratic administration, monitored and monitored the reconstruction of the devastated enclave without anyone.
The path to and the application of Gaza is not clear at all, as well as Hamas and Israel object on it – Hamas, because he administered Gaza at the moment, while Israel’s dog PA-E is not effective.
It seems that Abbas went to the offensive, Delivery of angry broadside During Hamas during the meetings and the bleaching of the Group to enable the continuation of Genocide of Israel in Gaza does not teach the prisoners and disarmament.
However, they blame abba’s failure to harmonize their Fatah faction with Hamas, making them eager to see the change of guardians in PA, according to Tahani Mustafa, an expert for the International Crisis Group with the International Crisis Group
Since 2007, Fatah and Hamas have Signed a few agreements Cold your divisions after the struggles that divided the Palestinian National Movement.
“I think there were a lot of frustration (among Arab states) that (Abbas) was more spoiler and obstacles to get the United Palestinian Front, who gave the Israel the excuse to continue working in Gaza,” Mustafa told Al Jazeer.
Can the vice president revive PA?
Instead of creating a new political post, Butt believes Abbas should hold the phatah, PLO and PA elections.
The last time was the vote held was immediately before the conflict between Hamas and Fatah in 2006. years. Hamas won a huge majority in these legislative elections.
The choice for creating a new vice president, it is not afraid, will not solve the legitimacy of the crisis or vacuum power after Abbas disappears, given what described as Abbas’s lack of political will to revive Palestinian institutions.
“On a typical fashion, Abbas works naked minimum to get (Arabic countries) from behind,” Al Jazeera said.
Elections, she admitted, could be fluidly shown due to Israeli Racing War and genocide in Gaza, as well as on her violence and movement in the west coast.
However, she said that Palestinians can still find ways to vote, perhaps through an internet portal or process.
“The interior of Fatah is a lot of refund on this appointment of the vice president. Everyone says they should be election,” Butt said Al Jazeera.
“(Abbas) puts help for the band on the wound so open that the operation needs it,” she said.
