Tens of thousands of Palestinians have gathered in downtown Gaza City to mark the 55th anniversary of President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah movement.
A Palestinian carries a picture of the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, during a rally marking the 55th anniversary of the Fatah movement founding, in Gaza City, Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2020. Fatah is a secular Palestinian party and former guerrilla movement founded by Arafat, in Gaza City, Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2020.
The Hamas takeover left the Palestinians divided between two governments, with Hamas controlling Gaza and the internationally recognized Palestinian Authority governing autonomous areas of the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Fatah sought to portray the large turnout as a reflection of its good standing, though its popularity has plunged in recent years. Abbas failed to regain control of Gaza and or move closer toward his goal of establishing an independent Palestinian state.
