Abbas removes Kaddoumi from representing Palestine at the AL
Palestine, Politics, 8/25/2003

Palestinian sources stressed that the Palestinian prime minister Mahmoud Abbas appointed his foreign minister Nabil Shaath as an official representative to the meetings of the Arab League on Palestine instead of the chairman of the PLO political department Farouk Kaddoumi.

A member at the revolutionary council of the Palestinian national liberation movement ( Fatah ) said that organizational and political difference erupted inside the movement because of this decision.

The Fatah official who asked to be anonymous said in a statement in Amman that Abbas sent an official "message" to the AL secretary general Amr sMousa a short time before notifying him that the "Foreign affairs minister in the Palestinian government Nabil Shaath is as from now assigned to represent the Palestinian side at the AL conferences and the meetings of the Arab foreign ministers."
