- As Hamas's
power increases, the Palestinian Authority (PA) and its security
services are gradually losing their control of the West Bank.
- Both the
Israelis and the Palestinians know that if the PA falls, the best
case scenario is that Hamas will take over the West Bank. The
worst case scenario is a welcome mat for ISIS.
Eighty-year-old Palestinian Authority President
Mahmoud Abbas is regularly fêted and flattered by Western leaders such as
France's President François Hollande (left) and top European Union
officials like Federica Mogherini and Jean-Claude Juncker (right).
After Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas threatened yet again that he
would end security coordination with Israel, not only has he not ended it,
but -- luckily for him, as it turned out -- it is now stronger than ever.
The Israelis, it seems, exposed two separate Hamas networks in the West
Bank, both of them planning a mass-casualty attack on Israel and the
destruction of the rule of Mahmoud Abbas.
Mahmoud Abbas's other threat, that he will dissolve the Palestinian
Authority (PA), and force Israel to fill the resulting vacuum and
incorporate its residents and territories into Israel, also turned out to
be cow plop.
