The Revolutionary Council also works to implement Fatah's General Conference decisions, monitor the work of the Central Committee and the movement's conditions in the regions, and oversee the Fatah movement's military affairs, in addition to discussing the Central Committee's decisions and activities. It also interprets the texts of Fatah's internal regulations in accordance with the movement's regulations, elects the head of the movement's court and the members of its committees, and discusses the reports of the General Conference and Revolutionary Council committees.<ref>{{cite news|title=المجلس الثوري لفتح ... صلاحياته ومهامه وآلية الانتخاب|trans-title=Fatah Revolutionary Council...its powers, tasks and election mechanism|url=https://www.alwatanvoice.com/arabic/news/2016/12/04/996232.html

Fatah's seventh Congress, held in Ramallah in December 2016, elected a new FRC and FCC. This was widely interpreted as Mahmoud Abbas' attempt to tighten his grip on the party by expelling his opponent Mohammed Dahlan and marginalising the popular Fatah figure Marwan Barghouti.
