Don't Count on Abbas in Gaza
(Commentary) Jonathan S. Tobin - Though a lot of people are counting on PA leader Mahmoud Abbas to be the linchpin of a long-term cease-fire between Israel and Hamas, the notion that he is strong enough is based on blind hope, not reality. The notion of trusting Fatah security forces to keep weapons out of Gaza or to make sure that building materials are directed to humanitarian rather than "military" projects is a joke. Fatah's people are even more corrupt than Hamas' despots and are just as dedicated to Israel's destruction.
