Noticed this at the Muqata:
According to PA law the presidency now automatically goes to the Speaker, but (Hamas) Speaker Aziz Dweik is currently in jail in Israel, making (Hamas) Gaza-based Deputy Speaker Ahmed Bahar next in line. Abu Mazeen is claiming he can extend his presidency for up to another year (he has been taking lessons from Ehud Olmert).
I don’t know if anything will come of this but with the UN now trying to bail Hamas out it will be interesting to see if this serves to blunt the impact of the French deal that Hamas rejected that was a PR win for Israel.
Update: Remind me to not hit save while running out the door, I meant to copy and paste one piece of the post and grabbed the whole thing. Just got back and noticed it now. My apologies to the muqata for snarfing his full post it was unintentional.
