(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - A senior diplomatic source said Tuesday that the Palestinian resolution at the UN seeking observer state status is a clear violation of the underlying principle of the peace process, which requires all outstanding issues to be resolved by negotiations. The official said that as a result of the Palestinian move, Israel would stick to the letter of the agreements it has signed, including the 1994 Paris Protocol mandating economic relations between Israel and the PA. Under that protocol, Israel can withhold tax money it collects for the PA to pay for goods and services Israel provides it. The PA owes more than NIS 800 million to the Israel Electric Corporation, a debt that Jerusalem will now most likely withhold from the two upcoming monthly tax payments to the PA. According to the source, the recent events in Gaza have shown PA President Mahmoud Abbas to be irrelevant and he is looking for ways to demonstrate his significance. "This move is not about the Palestinian people or a Palestinian state, but only his survival," said the source, adding that the move will not change anything on the ground. 2012-11-28 00:00:00Full Article
