Gaza and Mohammed Dahlan

Mohammed Dahlan, former leader of the Fatah movement in Gaza

There are strong indications that Hamas leaders are in negotiations with the former Fatah chief in Gaza, Mohammed Dahlan, to forge a power-sharing agreement.

The possible return of Dahlan to Gaza seems amazing because he once led a coup against the elected Hamas government in Gaza in 2007. The plan was a massive failure. In the matter of a few days in the summer of 2007, Hamas routed Dahlan's forces.

Hamas has managed to withstand Israeli wars, but an Israeli-Egyptian siege has proved nearly impossible to overcome. Two million Palestinians in Gaza suffer from life-threatening cuts of electricity, food, clean water, medicine and fuel, not to mention that they are denied freedom of movement.
