Qudwa is a dark-horse candidate to succeed Abbas – a possible compromise figure who has never been directly involved in security or military activities. For many Palestinians, Qudwa, a soft-spoken, multi-lingual nationalist (and Arafat’s nephew), presents an acceptable face for Palestine locally and internationally.
最后还有纳萨尔·阿尔-齐瓦，前巴解组织驻联合国代表。齐瓦此人堪称阿巴斯继任人选中的一匹黑马——这个可能的折中人选从未直接参与过任何安全或者军事行动。对于许多巴勒斯坦人来说，一个精通多国语言的民族主义者（加上是阿拉法特的侄子）既能被巴勒斯坦本地人所接受，在国际上也吃得开。
