Son of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas elected to Fatah central committee
Yasser Abbas, 64, a businessman based in Canada, secured a seat on Fatah's central committee following the party's Eighth General Conference in Ramallah, which concluded on Sunday. The three-day Congress was the first held in the occupied West Bank in a decade. The outcome drew criticism for retaining existing members, though popular imprisoned leader Marwan Barghouti retained his seat with the highest vote count.
