From 1999 | After Arafat
In 1999 Moment published an article about Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, detailing the nature of his rule, the state of his health as well as his possible successors. The piece in many ways holds up today, as it describes corruption in the Palestinian Authority and a Fatah-Hamas schism. And at times it is prescient, with the author even mentioning Arafat’s eventual successor, Mahmoud Abbas, as one of his most likely heirs. At other times the article is not so clairvoyant, predicting a coalition between the PA and Jordan that would never materialize. Today, as the aging Abbas reaches the end of his own tenure, Moment has published another piece, After Abbas, that, in tandem with After Arafat, will hopefully contextualize the current state of Palestinian politics and explain what might come next.
