Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) received just over 62% of the vote, and will take Arafat’s place as Palestinian Authority chief - with a practically identical platform.
Appearing before cheering crowds last night, Abu Mazen said that the period of the “little Jihad [holy war] had ended, and now the big Jihad is beginning.”
Abu Mazen did little to allay Israeli fears that he is no different than Arafat. He said he dedicates his victory to “brother shahid [martyr] Yasser Arafat,” to the “shahids and prisoners,” and to the “Palestinian people from Rafiach to Jenin.” The crowd responded, “A Million Shahids Marching to Jerusalem!”
