<p style="font-size:10pt;">WEST BANK, (PIC)&#8211; An informed source  told the Palestinian information center (PIC) that there were pressures  from senior Fatah leaders especially from the revolutionary council on  de facto president Mahmoud Abbas to replace prominent figures around him  with new faces in order to absorb the street&#8217;s resentment.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The source added that Abbas&#8217;s office and  Fatah central committee are acting, following the Egyptian revolution,  in a blundering and improvised way in an attempt to convince the West  Bankers that there are substantial changes and political reforms in the  Palestinian authority (PA).</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The source affirmed that PA chief  negotiator Saeb Erekat was removed from his post and did not resign, but  he was given the chance to resign to save face.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">In a separate incident, amid the ongoing  news blackout in the West Bank, the PA security militias kidnapped anew  12 Palestinian citizens affiliated with Hamas Movement in the cities of  Al-Khalil, Jenin, Nablus and Tubas, according to different local sources  on Tuesday.</p>
