Facing economic stagnation and what Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Ahmed Qurei calls “the anarchy of weapons,” a succession struggle is the last thing Palestinians need.

面对停滞不前的经济发展，以及被巴自治政府总理哈迈德·库赖称为"枪械管理混乱"的局面，巴勒斯坦人最不愿意看到的就是这场权力交接再起风波。无论谁最终上台，都必须做到以下几点：刺激经济发展、加强执法力度、抵制打击腐败、统一巴各安全机构并保证公众安全，而且必须在短期内做到，否则就得拱手相让权力宝座。
