Will September UN Vote Lead to Palestinian Authority's Collapse?
(Ynet News) Guy Bechor - The U.S. already made it clear in the most explicit way that it would impose a veto on a unilateral Palestinian move at the UN Security Council in September. Yet Abbas insists on rushing towards the wall. Palestinian disappointment may be immense and destructive. Palestinian violence may result and possibly focus on Israel, but also turn domestically, against the Palestinian Authority that prompted the failure. Israel already warned that should the PA seek to establish a Palestinian state, the Oslo Accords shall be annulled. In this case Israel would no longer collect Value Added Tax on behalf of the Authority, and that would mean that the immense monthly fund transfers to the PA and to Gaza shall draw to an end. The Authority will then collapse within a week or so. Moreover, Arab states are not enthusiastic about handing over money either.
