Palestinians Skeptical about Abbas' Move to Halt Agreements with Israel
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - Palestinians expressed skepticism that the Palestinian Authority would proceed with its intention to suspend signed agreements with Israel as announced on Thursday by PA President Mahmoud Abbas. "In the past, they have formed at least eight committees to look into ways of ending the agreements with Israel," a Ramallah-based Fatah official said. "We never heard about the findings of these committees. That's why it's hard to find any Palestinian who is taking Abbas' announcement seriously....No one believes Abbas when he talks about suspending agreements with Israel."
