Dahlan's Fall Proceeds Apace

Muhammad Dahlan's fall from grace is continuing. He's now been banned from Fatah meetings and from his major functions. Another story here.

The question of future Palestinian leadership at a time when the peace process seems moribund is an important one. Dahlan may have overplayed his hand, though the details are still quite murky. For now, he seems a spent force. But I still think it may be worth watching him.
