With PA President Mahmoud Abbas poised to resign, Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) legislators are reportedly set to discuss dissolving the Palestinian Authority entirely, ending the 1993 peace process and the limited self governance enjoyed by the PA in portions of the West Bank.
The move would have enormous ramifications, but with Israel having repeatedly threatened to abandon the peace process and the US having backed off all of its demands regarding Israel’s settlements, it underscores how little hope the PLO has for the diplomatic process.
At the same time, Fatah would seem to gain little from such a move, and the threat is likely more aimed at pressuring the US to return to its summer position, when it was demanding Israel halt all settlement growth.
At least Abbas won't be called a Quisling.
what peace process?? wake up O'Palestinians they want you out!
Abbas, still a quisling…If the PA disolves as the rotten peace process disintegrates, I can't wait to read and watch all the Western media attack the Palestinians for going against peace.
Israel has no interest in peace. America will do whatever Israel says because of its all-powerful Jewish lobby. The best bet for the Palestinians is to wait and just go for a ONE-STATE solution. Demography and time is on their side.
time is not on their side and if they do not have progress soon things will just get worse.
look at operation cast lead a few rockets fired at an illegal blockade (a blockade being an act of war)and the idf went in, in force and smashed the place up.
do you think if there was another intifada that you would not have a bulldozer and tank smashing every house in the west bank, roads closed more walls less food prison camps and the likes, and if there was an actual war with iran they will use that as an excuse to push every last one out in to the desert possible Jordan, and definitely Lebanon.
thats why iran is playing i cool, because Israel beside nukes can not do all that much damage to iran or visa versa.
but when your in a total war situation thing will get very ugly very fast.
not to mention it only a couple of years till a republican is back in the presidency who will run on a "whats a Palestinian?" platform
