The Annapolis Conference and the Left and Democratic Movements in Palestine
On Sunday, 18November 2007, I spoke with Dr.
Naim Abu Tair. Dr. Naim operates a private medical clinic in East
Jerusalem. In addition, he was formerly the director and president
of the Palestinian Health Work Committee, and is currently the General Director
of the BisanCenter
for Research and Development and co-chair of the board of the AlternativeInformationCenter.
We spoke about the situation for Palestinians in East
Jerusalem, and his assessment of the Hamas/Fatah split and the competing
Palestinian governments in Gaza and the West Bank. We also discussed the Left and Democratic
forces in Palestinian society, and a forecast of the results of the upcoming US
backed Middle East conference in Annapolis,
which is due to take place at the end of November.
