[Ynet News] Guy Bechor - On January 14, 2009, Mahmoud Abbas' term of office will end, and the storm will start. Hamas argues that according to the Palestinian constitution, a retired president should be replaced by the parliament speaker. The current speaker is a Hamas man, Aziz Dweik, who has been detained by Israel. His deputy, Ahmed Bahar, is also a Hamas man. This is how Hamas intends to take over the West Bank. In the coming months, Abbas will become radical in respect to his words and deeds. It is no coincidence that he went to visit Samir Kuntar in Lebanon, and that he constantly declares that the refugees will return to Israel. Abbas will be radicalizing his statements so he is not accused of capitulating to Israel.
