Commenting on the meeting of the 10 factions in Damascus and the participation of the head of the Palestine Liberation Organization, Farouk Al Qaddumi, Presidential Spokesperson Nabil Abu Rudeineh said that Al Qaddumi does not represent the Fateh movement either “directly or even remotely.”

Abu Rudeineh added in press statements that the “Fateh leadership and its cadres and supporters stand as one behind Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and support has come in all day for his speech and his decision to proceed deliberately with early legislative and presidential elections."

On the other hand, Abu Rudeineh issued the decision to restructure the Supreme Committee of Negotiations which will supervise all negotiations with all parties, including international, Arab and international bodies, including Israel.

He said that President Abbas, in his capacity as Commander in Chief of Fateh, has decided to form a committee to organize the country under the leadership of Fateh in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, to begin work immediately.
