The only leader that Palestinians would trust is a terrorist in prison

Palestinian Legislative Council building

Over the summer, the Jerusalem Media and Communications Center surveyed Palestinians and asked them, out of a list of prominent potential successors to Mahmoud Abbas, how much they trust them.

The results are abysmal for nearly everyone who has a chance to be the next leader of the PA, the PLO and Fatah.

Q17. How much trust do you have in the following people: Much, somewhat, no trust or don’t know? 

 1. Mahmoud Al Aloul  

Much trust 8.0 

Somewhat trust 18.9 

No trust 25.8 

2. Jibril Rajoub 

Much trust 8.6 

Somewhat trust 25.0

No trust 38.3 

3. Nasser Qidwa 

Much trust 7.6

Somewhat trust 23.3

No trust 27.6

4. Marwan Barghouthi 

Much trust 55.2

 Somewhat trust 26.3 

No trust 7.2

5. Hussein Al Sheikh

Much trust 8.2 

Somewhat trust 22.0 

No trust 39.8

6. Mohammad Shtayeh 

Much trust 13.3 

Somewhat trust 31.1

No trust 41.9 

7. Ismail Haniyeh 

Much trust 17.4 

Somewhat trust 23.7 

No trust 42.3 

8. Yehya Sinwar

Much trust 16.4 

Somewhat trust 20.8

No trust 39.4 

9. Khaled Meshaal

Much trust 14.6 

Somewhat trust 20.5

No trust 42.0

10. Mohammad Dahlan 

Much trust 8.8 

Somewhat trust 21.8

No trust 47.7

11. Mostafa Al Barghouthi 

Much trust 19.3

Somewhat trust 35.6

No trust 24.3 

The only person they really trust is a terrorist, in Israeli prison for his part in murdering five Israelis.

The only one they somewhat trust, Mostafa Barghouti, is General Secretary of the Palestinian National Initiative and would be considered a moderate by most Westerners; he is not a terrorist and says he does not support violence.

UAE doesn't issue a visa for the Mufti of Palestine - but may allow Israelis to enter freely

Anadolu Agency reports that  the United Arab Emirates has not issued a visa to the mufti of Jerusalem, Sheikh Mohammed Hussein.

He was slated to attend a conference in the UAE and was to arrive on Sunday.

A Palestinian official told the agency that  the Palestinian authorities have been working on this, saying that a solution is on its way.

Yet it is Wednesday and nothing has been reported about this being resolved yet.

The UAE has been frosty with the PLO for a while now, partially due to its support of Abbas rival Mohammed Dahlan.

Palestinian media is bitter, pointing out that Israelis have been welcomed with open arms to the UAE in recent months, even to the point of the deputy tourism minister of one of the emirates welcoming Israelis visiting a high tech expo without a visa, telling Ynet, "Bruchim Habaim" - "Welcome" in Hebrew. And it is possible that the lift on limitations of Israeli visitors to the UAE may become permanent.
