RAMALLAH, West Bank: Fatah’s Revolutionary Council yesterday decided to establish a television station and other media outlets, in a bid to counter the influence of Hamas’ highly popular television and radio stations. Senior Fatah officials said that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas approved earlier this week the Revolutionary Council’s, the highest institute in Fatah to make decisions, recommendation to establish a Fatah television station in Cairo and Ramallah, as well as a radio station, website, and newspaper — in order to counter Hamas’ media supremacy. The new group would be headed by Abbas’ associate Nabil Amre.
