Local Palestinian media continued running news headlines about various organizations or politicians discouraging him from retirement."

Whether he makes good on the pledge he made last night not to stand in next year's elections , or whether he is eventually persuaded to stay, the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, has had enough already. And it is clear why. He was elected nearly five years ago to negotiate a Palestinian state and has got nowhere, even with two Israeli governments who understand that the alternatives to his leadership...

If Mahmoud Abbas follows through with his threat and does not stand in the next Palestinian presidential elections the most likely candidate to replace him is probably Marwan Barghouti, a popular Fatah leader who is now serving five life terms in an Israeli jail. He was convicted in 2002 of involvement in the killing of four Israelis and a Greek Orthodox monk, but is seen as a potential leader by...

Al-Arabiyya TV (the private station of King Fahd), has aired a live speech by Abu Mazen. He was categorical that he won't be running for re-election as chief PA puppet. But if you have been reading this blog, you should not be surprised.

It is with a sense of frustration that one watches the latest instalment of the ‘peace process’ being played out. Preconditions for the negotiations, such as the freezing of settlements, have been abandoned. Another precondition from Israel's Foreign Minister Lieberman, is the abandonment of the Goldstone Report, which the Palestinian Authority did their best to scuttle. Indeed if Zionism...

Here's another indication that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu understands that the offers made to the 'Palestinians' by Ehud Barak and Ehud Olmert were suicidal and cannot be repeated. The new settlement of Maskiot and the expansion of farmland are just two tangible signs of tension over the area. When Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad issued a two-year development plan, he said he

Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Salam Fayyad brought the PA back from the brink once. Now he wants to create Palestinian settlements, in effect, to counter Israeli moves.

If one assumes that the goal of Palestinian Arab nationalism is the establishment of an independent state, the Arabs of Palestine have consistently made wrong decisions time after time again. From rejecting the Peel Commission recommendations in 1937 (where the Jewish State would have been minuscule and unsustainable) to the UN Partition through Camp David and Barak's offer, the answer has always been...
