Muhammad Dahlan, a Fatah dissident backed by the UAE, is pursuing an electoral alliance with Hamas based on a UAE-sponsored proposal to end Palestinian political division, Mondoweiss reported. The plan has become the working platform for the two rival factions despite their historical antagonism. Dahlan, operating in exile, has positioned the initiative as a framework for resolving long-standing Palestinian factional disputes.
The alliance brings together figures from competing movements around Dahlan's unity proposal. The UAE is financing the initiative and has taken an active role in Palestinian internal affairs. Details on the specific electoral mechanics or timeline for implementation remain unclear from current reporting.
