A former Palestinian Authority intelligence chief, Tawfiq al-Tirawi, has publicly accused the leadership under Mahmoud Abbas of enabling widespread and systemic corruption. In an open letter, Tirawi claimed that corruption operates with confidence and immunity within the authority's institutions, and that his previous warnings to Abbas were ignored. He described a 'moral and ethical collapse' and alleged that businesses and individuals have seized public and private assets, while Abbas's aides deliberately conceal the truth. Tirawi warned that he may reveal specific cases to the media if the situation does not improve, highlighting ongoing concerns about corruption that have led to dismissals of officials in recent years.
