I met with Dahlan in Doha a few days ago to review current conditions; he said that Hamas was complaining, crying and looking for excuses, as if the people had set a trap for it (after winning parliamentary elections and being tasked to form a government).
Dahlan reminded me that the Fatah-led government made two big achievements: the first was conducting peaceful, democratic elections and the second came with an honorable and calm transfer of power.
Dahlan said that the situation today was tragic, and that Israel was unilaterally carrying out the most dangerous political project, under the pretext of not having a Palestinian (negotiation) partner.

 Respected Palestinian waits in the wings as possible bridge to independent state / Former Gaza security chief is ...
Dahlan is often referred to as the "Palestinian prince in waiting." He has been a key player for 25 years, emerging from the ranks of the shebab youth wing of Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement to head up the Preventive Security Force, the largest armed Palestinian force detachment in Gaza.
Dahlan is believed to enjoy covert funding from Washington and London, and like other Palestinian security chiefs, he has used his influence to gain stakes in a raft of business interests that ensure his financial independence.
Dahlan insists that a democratic, unified Palestinian Authority could deliver security for Israel, a condition successive Israeli governments have insisted is the precondition for a peaceful settlement, and says that most Palestinians are tired of the violence.

 Mohammed Dahlan Biography
Dahlan (and Arafat) were able to crack down on Hamas at that time, because in 1996 the PA and the peace process with which it was identified still generally enjoyed the support of the Palestinian public.
Dahlan’s attempts to gather support for an electoral challenge to Arafat came to an abrupt halt on 24 June 2002, however, when President Bush publicly called for Arafat to be replaced by leaders “not tainted by terror”, by which he probably meant Dahlan and Erekat.
Dahlan has admitted to his associates that it was very painful for him to refute the theory being heard in Gaza, that Israel's attempt to assassinate Hamas leader Abdel Aziz Rantisi was carried out after they got a green light from him.

Dahlan bases his political legitimacy on his success in recent Fatah elections in Gaza and his claim that Gazans support his demands for PA reforms.

Dahlan also plays a key role in revamping the security forces loyal to Abbas, including the 3,500-strong Presidential Guard, which is seen as the bulwark against Hamas should a full-fledged civil war erupt.
Dahlan was one of just a few Fatah leaders to win their Gaza districts in the 2006 parliament election.

 israelinsider: Views: The danger of Dahlan
Dahlan's periodic moves against the murderers during the Oslo years served only to camouflage the fact that his forces were involved in terror themselves.
In the present, however, Dahlan is driven by his passion for power and this may prove the motivating factor required to make him act against the 'Intifada.' For to advance his position, he needs the support of an America which is instituting regime change in Ramallah as surely as it is doing so in Baghdad.
Dahlan, at the time, pledged never to bow to "conditions advanced by Sharon and Bush" and move against his leader, but his subsequent intriguing against Arafat and his key role in Abu Mazen's putsch demonstrates that principles count for nothing when they conflict with his campaign for control.
