Abbas' 'bombshell' UN speech
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4701292,00.html
Abbas also reacted to recent events on the temple mount, saying that Israel is once again trying to divide the mount between Jews and Muslims in terms of space and prayer times. He clarified that the Palestinians will never let something like that happen.
Israeli officials have had a hard time trying to guess what Abbas is planning, and worry that he himself has not come to a decision, due to the pressures being imposed on him.
Among the considered possibilities are the cancelation of the Oslo accords, dismantling the PA – leaving Israel responsible for the entire Palestinian population as an occupying force or declaring Palestine a "State under occupation" (international law terminology), which allows them to seek protection from the international community, while turning to the UNSC in an attempt to grant Palestine full state status.
Israeli officials are already warning that if Abbas "breaks the rules," Israel will review the possibility of exiling him, or blockade him within the West Bank - similar to what was done with Yasser Arafat.
I have little to no trust in Abbas, but I am curious what he is up to.
I also find it laughable that any Israeli, representing the apartheid state, can talk about breaking the rules while keeping a straight face.
