I've Been Thinking:

Mohamad Dahlan has secured 1 million COVID shots and delivered them to Gaza through Egypt.

Dahlan is from Gaza - but he now lives in Abu Dhabi, in UAE. He moved there because his life was in jeopardy within the Palestinian Authority for challenging President Abbas.

And now Mohammed Dahlan is the major challenger to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

Procuring these vaccines was an important humanitarian move by Dahlan. It showed that he cares about the lives of Palestinians. So far, 1744 Palestinians have died from COVID.

The vaccine is the Russian version called Sputnik V and this is the single largest shipment of COVID vaccine to date.

Dahlan may be very popular with Palestinians, but he is persona non grata in the PA. He was tried in absentia and found guilty of challenging Abbas publicly.

This humanitarian act of obtaining vaccines for the people of Gaza seems to be a strategic power play by Dahlan. Abbas is 86 years old – no matter how hard he tries, he will not be able to remain PA president forever.
