Israeli Intelligence: Abbas Is Too Weak
[Jerusalem Post] A joint document by the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet), the Mossad, and military intelligence states that "even if understandings are reached in Annapolis, the chances of implementing them in the field are almost zero." Army Radio reported Thursday that Israel's intelligence community considers Mahmoud Abbas a powerless leader, who even has difficulty controlling car thieves and drug dealers in his own territory. "There is a total disconnection between the leadership and the Palestinian people," read the document, and "the PA has no security apparatus capable of implementing agreements. The existing [security] forces are totally corrupt."
