Israeli parliamentarian Yuval Steinitz called for abolition of Palestinian Authority in face of Hamas non-recognition and threats.
Steinitz argued in a radio interview Monday, Dec. 11, that there was no point in continuing the course set by the 1983 Oslo Accords which established the Palestinian Authority after 13 disastrous years that led to Hamas rule. A new policy is needed, he said, to cope with the menacing reality.
In Teheran, Palestinian Authority prime minister Ismail Haniya said "Palestine" is Islamic land and no one had the right to give it up. Armed struggle, he said, is the only way to free Palestine from “the occupation.” Haniya was received by Iran’s supreme ruler Ayatollah Ali Khamenei at the end of a four-day visit to Iran which awarded his government $250m.

Nischal objects to referring to the PA as run by Hamas. OK, let's call it the "PA whose Prime Minister is Hamas."
The difference is hard to discern.

Yazan is certainly aware that the so-called Palestinians have not kept a single agreement that they signed. If they had, then they would have a state already. They never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
