This Morning Radio Islam spoke to Professor Abdul Satter Kassem LIVE from the West Bank, Palestine  on the news of the Palestine Unity Government Resigning. “First of all, we never had a unity government…That government was the government of Mahmoud Abbas, not of the Palestinians”

He said that Palestinian people did not expect anything good to come from the so called Unity Government, and nothing did. “They used to collect the money from western countries and pay their employees, that is all.”

He spoke about the complacency of Abbas Government in opposing continuous Israeli settlements being built on Palestinian Land, but that the Abbas government were quick to stop Palestinians from Building as well. 

He took exception to Abbas still being in Power: “Abbas is an illegitimate president because his mandate ended in 2009…he should leave. We the Palestinians are no different from other arab countries, we also have a dictatorship! Palestinians need to kick him out, Enough..6 years over his mandate is more than enough” 

His view on the future for Palestinians remains bleak. “If we have a elections abbas will definitely lose, whoever succeeds him will not be forthcoming to work so closely with Israel. As he has We have a very clumsy, unable, Government with NO idealogy , NO vision, they are leading us only towards disaster With this leadership we are doomed to continuous Failure.”
