(Jerusalem Post) Gil Hoffman - The Palestinians must fight terrorism or risk being shunned and financially abandoned by the international community, opposition leader Shimon Peres told King Abdullah II of Jordan on Tuesday in Amman. Peres said that, just like the demographic clock threatens the future of Israel, a "terror clock" threatens the future of the Palestinians. Regarding Syrian President Assad, Peres told Abdullah that Assad should come to Jerusalem or invite Sharon to Damascus. Peres presented his plan for incentives for Middle East peace, which include establishing a new Middle Eastern anti-terrorism treaty organization, Israel and a new Palestinian state joining the EU, adding Middle Eastern nations to NATO's Partnership for Peace organization, and the U.S. guaranteeing a firm border between Israel and the Palestinians to prevent future territorial disputes.
