The son of Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas won a seat on Fatah's top decision-making body on Sunday, as initial results emerged from the Palestinian movement's first congress in a decade.The congress came as Fatah faces existential challenges in the wake of the Gaza war.Yasser Abbas, 64, a businessman who spends most of his time in Canada, secured a place on the central committee after being appointed around five years ago as his father's "special representative" — a role that marked his emergence on the political scene.
