“Some of those arrested are interrogated and return to their homes on the same day. Others were arrested one or two days after intensive investigations,” he adds, before pointing out that “the questions that were addressed to most of the detainees concerned the Gaza Strip, and political affiliations, in addition to relations with the Palestinian Authority and President Mahmoud Abbas.”

Dahlan has very strong relations with Saudi Arabia, Egypt, France, and Britain, as well as with the United States. He is a tool in the hands of the UAE Crown Prince in the Middle East and currently manages many hot and bloody files in the region, especially those where the UAE has a hand.
Dahlan split from Fatah because of sharp disagreements with Abbas, the formation of a new trend called the Democratic Reform Movement in the Gaza Strip in 2016, and the launching of activities in a number of regions and countries in the name of this movement, which he considers a representative of Fatah movement.
The UAE’s relations with Hamas, as well as the Palestinian Authority and President Abbas, are tense, fraught with many differences and mutual accusations.
