The Class Forces of the Palestinian Authority

Samar Vittreary's father is or was the personal doctor of Mahmoud Abbas. She has a sub stack where she talks about her experience when she lived under occupation during the second Palestinian into father, and she does make reference to her father but she just sort of says he's the Palestinian doctor. He retired on a very generous pension of around $10,000 a month,. which I would expect in terms of West Bank salary levels that is absolutely astronomical. They're a product of this post Oslo era, where a small but powerful class of Palestinian elites enjoy a kind of like bifurcated life, living between Palestine and the West.
