Fatah’s 8th Congress: A Silent Struggle for the Movement’s Future
After years of delay, Fatah’s 8th General Conference opened on May 14, described as a silent battle over loyalty and succession. The meeting took place as Gaza faced war and the West Bank faced annexation, amid criticism that the leadership fixed the outcome to sideline democratic debate. Key questions include who will succeed 90-year-old President Mahmoud Abbas and whether Fatah can regain public trust.
