<p style="font-size:10pt;">RAMALLAH, (PIC)&#8211; De facto Palestinian  president Mahmoud Abbas phoned former Tunisian president Zine  Al-Abidine Ben Ali a few hours before his people overthrew him to send  condolences for the events that preceded his escape from the country.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Abbas discussed with his counterpart the  latest political developments relating to the peace process and the  incidents in Tunisia before the dramatic developments that led to the  overthrow and flight of Ben Ali, according to Palestinian media.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Abbas visited Tunis earlier this month and  met with Ben Ali to discuss developments in Palestine issues. He also  met with PLO political department chief Farouq al-Qaddoumi after long  years of estrangement.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The Tunisian people successfully forced  the 23-year ruling Ben Ali out of office after a month of unprecedented,  deadly protests. Mohammed al-Ghanouchi, the Tunisian premier, is  serving as interim president of the country.</p>
