After being accused of attempting to topple Netanyahu - the senior Palestinian breaks his silence: "Trying to evade responsibility"
The reformist stream in Fatah, led by Mohammed Dahlan, denies Likud accusations of interference in Israeli elections. In a sharp statement, it claims the accusations are ridiculous and intended to divert discussion from the government's failures, and that the future of Gaza will not be a bargaining chip in the elections. Dahlan asserts he has never been a party to internal Israeli struggles.
The reformist stream in Fatah, led by Mohammed Dahlan, has issued a sharp statement denying Likud accusations that Dahlan is working to topple the Netanyahu government and interfere in Israeli elections. The statement claims the accusations are "ridiculous" and intended to divert public discussion from the government's failures and the questions directed at Netanyahu following the events of October 7. Dahlan emphasizes that he "has never been a party to internal Israeli struggles," and that for him, the question of who heads the government is not the main issue — but rather what Israeli governments do to the Palestinian people. It further states that "the future of the Gaza Strip will not be determined by Netanyahu or by Likud, and will not be a bargaining chip in the Israeli elections." Likud has claimed that Dahlan dreams of taking over Gaza and needs a different government in Israel, linking this to Gadi Eisenkot, Yair Golan, Avigdor Lieberman, and the Arab parties — without public evidence. The article notes that at this stage, no proven infrastructure for Dahlan's interference in the elections has been presented.
