An interesting story in Palestinian media:
The King of Bahrain received the son of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Yasser, on Monday at his palace in Manama.Bahraini media reported that King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa hosted Yasser Mahmoud Abbas, as the personal representative of President Mahmoud Abbas, President of the State of Palestine, in the presence of Ambassador Taha Muhammad Abdul Qader, the Ambassador of the State of Palestine to the Kingdom of Bahrain.
...The official Palestinian news agency did not publish the news of the appointment or the reception.
Yasser Abbas is a corrupt, multi-millionaire businessman who controls a string of companies including Falcon Tobacco, the company that controls all American-made cigarette sales in Palestinian territories.
Just a coincidence, I'm sure.
The younger Abbas never seemed to be interested in politics, but Mahmoud Abbas has not been seen in public for nearly two weeks now, and appointing his son as his "personal representative" makes it appear like he is finally considering a succession plan worthy of a dictator.
