Time for Abbas to Go
(Jerusalem Post) Editorial - Palestinian Authority officials slammed the U.S. administration for its efforts to improve living conditions in Gaza after working against U.S. efforts at a new peace push. The comments by advisers to PA President Mahmoud Abbas are part of a pattern in which the PA leadership appears out of touch with both the region and its own people. The PA also refuses to hold elections, preferring to govern indefinitely while billions of dollars in Western support fill its coffers. The aging leadership in the PA has fought against change for decades and has systematically undermined and denied a new generation of Palestinians from rising to the top. It is time for the PA to find new leadership who can talk about peace and give the next generation a real chance.
