Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert recently met with ex-Fatah leader Mohammed Dahlan in Abu Dhabi, a meeting reported to be private without details disclosed. Dahlan, expelled from Fatah in 2011 and facing a three-year prison sentence for embezzlement, has been viewed as a potential successor to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. Dahlan’s political history includes accusations of failing to prevent Hamas’s 2007 takeover of Gaza and maintaining ties with Israeli officials, which he denies. He began his career under Yasser Arafat and held significant roles, including leading negotiations with Israel.
