Palestinians may be heartened that Fatah got this far, and the sway of aging exiles who do not share their daily struggles has been reduced. But the so-called "new blood" are all established players in Palestinian politics, and still have a lot to prove if they are to convince voters they have left behind the days of corruption and infighting under Arafat."

For betterment of Palestinians it's necessary to reorganize the Fatah from grassroots level. The aging leadership don't have the courage and wisdom to solve the conflict with Israel. So it is better to induct more and more young leadership in Fatah.

The corrupt Abbas is more interested in his own position and wealth than in Palestinian unity. He is a disgrace to the Palestinian cause and to all the fighters who have died for it. First of all Fatah should replace him.
