Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas has said the
re-election of Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad started "a countdown to
the end of Syria's crisis".
Agency France Press quotes Abbas as saying in a hand written
message to Al-Assad: "Your election to the presidency of the Syrian Arab
Republic guarantees Syria's unity and sovereignty, and starts of a
countdown to the end of Syria's crisis and its war against terrorism."
This is the clearest support that Al-Assad has received from the PA
since the beginning of the Syrian uprising in mid-2011. Abbas expressed
his hopes for stability in Syria and "success" for Al-Assad.
The PA's relations with the Syria regime deteriorated when a verbal
clash about the reliability of talks with the Israeli occupation erupted
between Abbas and Al-Assad during an Arab League meeting held in Libya
in 2010.
As Syria's relations with Hamas were good at the time, Fatah demanded
that the reconciliation file with Hamas be moved away from Damascus.
But then Al-Assad's regime got angry with Hamas when it decided to
support the popular Syrian uprising.
This development made Fatah repair its relations with Al-Assad and
the PA sent missions to talk with the Syrian regime about the Yarmouk
refugee camp, which has been under siege for about a year.

Abbas proposes demilitarised Palestinian state
04 February 2014
Source: Middle East Monitor
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has proposed to US Secretary of State John Kerry that a state of Palestine would be demilitarised, protected only by a police force. Speaking to the New York Times, he also said that Israeli forces and settlements could remain in the West Bank for five years after a final agreement has been signed.
Abbas told the NYT last week that he agrees that a US-led NATO force could take responsibility for security in the West Bank and Jerusalem. "For a long time, and wherever they want, not only on the eastern borders, but also on the western borders, everywhere," he said." How can Palestinians have any security if the Israelis do not feel secure?"
The NATO force would be responsible for preventing terrorism and weapons smuggling. At the same time, however, Abbas said that he refuses to recognise Israel as a Jewish state, noting that Egypt and Jordan were not required to do so after they signed peace treaties with the Zionist state.
The Palestinian Authority leader showed flexibility about extending the period of negotiations, saying that the proposed deadline of April 29 "is not a sacred date". If there is something promising by that time, he asked, should we just stop? "If there is nothing on the horizon at that time, though, we will stop."

Israel’s Enforcer ~ by @StephenLendman
May 28, 2012
By:Stephen Lendman

Israel enforces rogue state harshness. Rule of law principles are spurned. Even Jewish rights are marginalized. Palestinians have none.
Occupation ruthlessness terrorizes them. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Salam Fayyad serve illegitimately.
Israel manipulated the process to elect Abbas and keep him in charge. Despite virtually no popular support, Fayyad was appointed.
Enforcing Israeli authority is policy. Abbas is a longtime collaborator. Duplicity defines his agenda. Israel and Washington know he’s reliable. They support him to serve their interests.
Abbas took credit as Oslo’s architect. Israel controlled the process. Sellout defined it. Israel got what it wanted. Palestinians were shut out. Abbas sold out. He agreed to unilateral surrender. So did Arafat.
In April, Al-Ahram contributor Hasan Afif El-Hasan headlined “Twenty lost years,” saying:
Post-Oslo, nothing changed. Israel’s military protects settlers and terrorizes Palestinians. PA security forces violate the rights of their own people “in accordance with guidelines and direct orders established by Israel.”
“The path the PA chose since Oslo has not led to Palestinian independence and it has weakened the Palestinian national movement.”
“The PA does not govern its own territory, and became for all intents and purposes the administrator of an Israeli protectorate while Israel carries on with ethnic cleansing of Jerusalem, colonising the West Bank and enforcing the criminal blockade on Gaza.”
Abbas and Fayyad replicate US-controlled puppet authority in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and elsewhere. PA security forces prevent and/or contain peaceful demonstrations.
During Cast Lead, anti-Israeli protests were prohibited. Abbas tried to prevent war crime investigations. He won’t permit another Intifada. He targets Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine supporters.
Historian Beshara Doumani recently visited the West Bank. He said PA crackdowns prevent Palestinians from expressing views freely. He called Nablus “a broken city.” Resistance is confronted and quashed.
Sociology Professor Khalil Nakhleh calls PA/Israeli cooperation frightening. Palestinian elites place their interests above collective ones.
PA leaders work cooperatively with a “Jewish-ethno-security regime.” They rule Palestine “from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean….” What chance have Palestinians when top officials representing them sell out to Israeli authority?
On May 10, the Palestinian Center for Human Rights reported (PCHR) Palestinian security forces broke up “the concluding colloquium of the Palestine Festival of Literature.”
Free expression and opinion were violated. So was the right to peacefully assemble. Palestinian law affirms rights too important to deny.
Arab poets and writers attended. Egyptian blogger ‘Amru ‘Izzat spoke about liberty. Security forces cut off electricity and told attendees to leave. Those refusing were confronted. Cameras were confiscated. Chaos resulted. Later, the colloquium resumed at al-Quds International Hotel.
In early May, PA security forces arrested dozens of journalists and activists voicing dissent. Al Haq director Shawan Jabarin said:
“There are many people I’m sure that are afraid and will count to ten before they say anything. Maybe they’ll push people to speak underground instead of expressing their opinions freely.”
“I think they’re using different words here and there, just to undermine these people in the eyes of the public and to say that they are creating trouble and creating divisions. It’s a political judgement more than (something) illegal.”
Palestinian Attorney General Ahmad al-Maghni hasn’t “protect(ed) the freedoms and the rights of the people in the face of arbitrary detention, instead of arresting people.”
“Here, we see him acting quickly” and irresponsibly. “(A)t the same time, he’s closing his ears and his eyes on the crimes going on.”
“He is not taking into his mind that the law that he is using was approved in 1960 and these days, we are in 2012 and the main principle now in all the world is freedom of expression.”
Jabarin referred to the long outdated 1960 Jordanian Penal Code.
An-Najah University student Hasan Abbadi was jailed for days and fined for “creating disunity.” Others were targeted for Facebook and other social network comments.
Abbas ruthlessly targets truth. Criticizing PA authority isn’t tolerated. Web sites were blocked. Al Mughani ordered them shut. Internet freedom’s threatened. So are peaceful assembly and other rights.
Palestinians should ask who’s side are they on? It’s simple knowing and should mobilize them to react. Otherwise, current policies will continue and worsen.
Palestinian Security Forces Trained to Serve Israel
From 2005 until he retired in October 2010, Lt. General Keith Dayton served as US Security Coordinator for Israel and the Palestinian Authority head (USSC). Lt. General Michael Moeller replaced him. He reports directly to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The State Department says he “directs all facets of U.S. security sector assistance to the Palestinian Authority and synchronizes international supporting efforts.”
It’s part of Washington’s pro-Israel/anti-Palestinian agenda. USSC created, built, trains and funds a 25,000-strong PA force. Hundreds of millions are spent. At issue is Institutionalizing hard-line control. Israel’s own security operations are supplemented.
Dayton built and renovated garrisons, training colleges, Interior Ministry facilities, and security headquarters. In January 2010, a Congressional Research Service (CRS) report addressed “US Security Assistance to the Palestinian Authority,” saying:
In late 2004, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Abbas created the USSC for “civil security and counterterrorism purposes.”
Palestinian recruits train at Jordan’s International Police Training Center (JIPCA) near Amman. Instruction includes crowd control, confronting “terrorist networks,” and consolidating “competent, defactionalized civilian control” over the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Hamas controls besieged Gaza. Perhaps Israel plans another war to change things.
At issue is maintaining militarized occupation control, confronting challenges to Israeli authority, serving imperial Washington, and denying Palestinians freedom and control over their own lives.
PA security forces assist Israeli harshness. Five PA security organizations operate: the National Security Forces (including military intelligence), Palestinian Civil Police, Preventive Security Organization, Presidential Guard, and General Intelligence Service.
Together they comprise the Palestinian Authority Security Forces (PASF). The PA interior minister controls them. He’s beholden to Israel. So are Abbas and Fayyad. Palestinians lose out. They have two enemies – Israel and their own West Bank government.
USSC is a multinational organization comprised of military officers and civilian personnel. Its core staff numbers about 45, including Americans, Canadians, Brits, and Turks. Operations are based in Jerusalem and Ramallah.
US private military contractors (PMCs), including DynCorp., are involved. So are around two dozen US and foreign law enforcement and security training specialists, as well as seven US and foreign technical advisors with expertise in security and Middle East affairs, strategic planning and organizational development, contracts and grants, procurement, logistics, and finance.
At issue is enforcing occupation harshness, denying Palestinian self-determination, and eliminating challenges to Israeli control. Palestinian security forces target their own people. Abbas and Fayyad collaborate for whatever benefits they derive.
Israel has final say on policy. Washington’s a reliable partner. Palestinians are left out and exploited. They’re on their own against two rogue states denying their legitimate rights. Liberation depends on restoring them.

Hamas sets new terms for reconciliation with Fatah
Feb 23, 2012
By Nidal al-Mughrabi
Source:Reuters
(Reuters) - Hamas has set new terms for implementing a reconciliation deal with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's rival Fatah group, an official said Thursday, dimming even further chances the accord will be put into effect.
Abbas and Khaled Meshaal, Hamas's political chief in exile, agreed in Qatar earlier this month to form a unity government led by the Western-backed president.
But in a rift with the Islamist group's leadership outside the Gaza Strip, officials in the Hamas-ruled enclave swiftly criticized the accord, particularly its call for Abbas to serve as prime minister as well as president.
At an internal meeting chaired by Meshaal in Cairo on Wednesday, Hamas officials united behind new demands, said a Palestinian official involved in the talks. The terms seemed certain to be rejected by Abbas.
"Hamas demanded to keep the key ministries in the new government, including the ministry of interior," said the official. "It also demanded no change in the structure of security services in the Gaza Strip."
The interior ministry oversees the Hamas-run security services, and Palestinian political analyst Samir Awad said the new terms proved the group "was not prepared to abandon control of Gaza," territory it seized from Fatah in fighting in 2007.
Abbas has been seeking a unity government staffed by independents and technocrats to ensure it would not be boycotted by the West, which donates essential funds to his Palestinian Authority and refuses to deal with Hamas over it hostility toward Israel.
Other demands that emerged from the Cairo meeting included naming a Gaza-based deputy to Abbas and making his appointment as prime minister conditional on a vote of confidence in the Palestinian parliament.
The legislature has not been in session since the collapse five years ago of a short-lived Palestinian unity government.

Hamas MPs call for scrapping of Fatah deal
Feb 8, 2012
By Mahmud Hams | AFP
Source:Yahoo News Maktoob
MPs of the Hamas majority in the Palestinian parliament called on Thursday for the scrapping of a reconciliation accord with Fatah on constitutional grounds.
"After examining the question of Mahmud Abbas taking on the premiership as well as the presidency" and consultation with judicial experts, such a scenario was found to be contrary to the Basic Law, 31 MPs said in a statement.
It said after a meeting in parliament in Gaza City that the Basic Law calls for separation of the two posts, in contrast to Fatah which denies any violation of the law.
"On this basis, we call for all the signatory parties and the sponsor of the Palestinian reconciliation to reconsider and to respect the Basic Law," said the MPs of the Islamist movement which holds 74 seats in the 132-member parliament
Palestinian president Abbas, who also heads Fatah, and Hamas chief Khaled Meshaal signed an accord in Doha on Monday placing Abbas at the head of an interim consensus government to supervise the run-up to elections.
The deal was hailed as a compromise after a bitter dispute over who would head the temporary government that had stalled a reconciliation deal signed by all Palestinian factions in April and May 2011.

ABBAS CAVES ON "RIGHT OF RETURN" AND MORE
Irish4Palestine
April 26, 2010
PALESTINIANS ABOUT TO GET SCREWED
You've just lost the Right of Return folks!!
The brilliant negotiator and head idiot Abbas has sold you out before even getting to the table.
First rule of negotiations, begin from a position of power, not a position of weakness! You NEVER come to the table showing you are already willing to give everything away! What's left to bargain with? NO more resistance, that's now out according to Abbas, NO Right of Return, that's now negotiable, according to Abbas, NO claiming a Palestinian state without Israel's approval, that's gone according to Abbas.
Palestinians are about to be screwed by one of their own. I feel so sorry for Palestinians who are about to read this utter rubbish coming from Abbas' corrupt American/Israeli owned mouth. There is a name for someone like him, it begins with the letter "T" for Traitor and "M" for Moron. Some of what this man said is absolutely outrageous, like this:
LINK 'I want to work with Netanyahu' Regarding the 'Law of Return' for Palestinians refugees, the PA leader hinted that he was not asking for an influx of Palestinians into Israel, merely saying, "The Road Map stipulates a 'just solution,' so let's just say, I want a "just solution.'"
He expressed confidence at being able to "explain" the agreed-upon solution to the refugee issue to the Palestinian people.
Explain this??? Nothing TO explain, just throw away those keys, you ain't going back ever again. Abbas has just effectively stated that he's willing to trade away your right of return. Now go have a nice day in your refugee camp all you uprooted Palestinians! There's more Abbas insanity:
"Try me," Abbas told (Israeli) Channel 2. "I say on behalf of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, that we are prepared for an agreement."
Stressing that Netanyahu was the prime minister "chosen by the Israeli people and elected by the Knesset," Abbas said that on that basis, it was his "duty to work with him."
Sorry, but WTF??? His DUTY to work with him, when his IDF killers just crossed into Palestine (Abba's supposed country) today and murdered a man? When they have stolen most of East Jerusalem (and continue to do so) and passed a law to deport Palestinians from the West Bank by the thousands? When hundreds of Palestinians are interned without trial in Zionist jails? As a Palestinian, Abbas' "DUTY" is to represent ALL the Palestinian people and THEIR best interests, NOT America or Israel's best interest. You NEVER come to the table showing you are already willing to give everything away! What's left to bargain with? No more resistance, that's now out accoriding to Abbas, no Right of Return, that's now negotiable, according to Abbas, no claiming a Palestinian state without Israel's approval, that's gone accoridng to Abbas. Dear God in Heaven he's lost his mind, sadly there's more grovelling and caving to come:
Concerning recent calls for renewed Palestinian resistance in the West Bank, Abbas said he did "not want demonstrations that deteriorate into violence."
So shut up and sit down all you uprooted Palestinians you won't be protesting in the West Bank anymore. Abbas has done the deal, sold you down the river, soon all you who resist will be deported to Gaza using the new "Israeli Laws" pack your bags people. And the final insult:
Abbas played down PA Prime Minister Salaam Fayyad's stated intention to declare a Palestinian state in 2011, saying, "There will be no unilateral moves, we want an agreement."

Palestinians: Abbas betraying martyrs' blood
Sun, 04 Oct 2009 06:41:18 GMT
The Palestinian Authority has come under fire from other factions including Hamas over its request from the UN Human Rights Council to defer a UN vote over Israeli war crimes in Gaza.
Taher Al-Nouno, a Hamas spokesperson in Gaza, said the PA's request constitutes "a serious crime against our people, a betrayal to the blood of our martyrs and collaboration with the Zionist enemy and cooperation with it in the war and aggression on Gaza."
"Not adopting the report means giving the green light to the occupation forces to carry out more war crimes against the Gaza Strip as long as it will not be held accountable for its actions with a Palestinian cover", Arab news quoted him as saying.
Palestinian Economy Minister Bassem Khuri resigned on Saturday to protest the "Palestinian Authority's agreement not to discuss the Goldstone Report," an official close to him said.
The adoption of the report, which looked into Israel's military campaign in the Gaza Strip earlier this year, was deferred by six months after the Palestinian Authority on Thursday decided to drop its draft resolution condemning Israel's conduct during the offensive.
The PA had originally planned to present the draft to the council for a vote in Geneva on Friday.
Mohammed Al-Hindi, a senior Islamic Jihad official, said: "While we are celebrating the release of our prisoners from the Zionist prison, the PA continues to cooperate with the Israeli plot to erase signs of the massacre against the Palestinian people."
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the Palestine People Party also condemned the PA's decision and called for the PLO's executive committee to convene to discuss the issue.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine has described Fatah's decision as an instance of "capitulation to Israeli dictates."
For their part, 14 Palestinian human rights organizations said the PA's request "deprived the Palestinian people of an effective judicial investigation and from the protection of the law."
Schools all over the Gaza Strip went on strike in protest at the PA's decision.
Sources say the administration of U-S President Barack Obama has forced the decision on Fatah.
The report issued by UN human rights investigator Richard Goldstone has strongly criticized Israel over its 22-day offensive on the Gaza Strip and called for the prosecution of Israeli officials.
The Palestinian Authority has come under fire from other factions including Hamas over its request from the UN Human Rights Council to defer a UN vote over Israeli war crimes in Gaza.
Taher Al-Nouno, a Hamas spokesperson in Gaza, said the PA's request constitutes "a serious crime against our people, a betrayal to the blood of our martyrs and collaboration with the Zionist enemy and cooperation with it in the war and aggression on Gaza."

Palestinian Economy Minister Bassem Khuri resigned on Saturday to protest the "Palestinian Authority's agreement not to discuss the Goldstone Report," an official close to him said.
The adoption of the report, which looked into Israel's military campaign in the Gaza Strip earlier this year, was deferred by six months after the Palestinian Authority on Thursday decided to drop its draft resolution condemning Israel's conduct during the offensive.
The PA had originally planned to present the draft to the council for a vote in Geneva on Friday.
Mohammed Al-Hindi, a senior Islamic Jihad official, said: "While we are celebrating the release of our prisoners from the Zionist prison, the PA continues to cooperate with the Israeli plot to erase signs of the massacre against the Palestinian people."
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the Palestine People Party also condemned the PA's decision and called for the PLO's executive committee to convene to discuss the issue.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine has described Fatah's decision as an instance of "capitulation to Israeli dictates."
For their part, 14 Palestinian human rights organizations said the PA's request "deprived the Palestinian people of an effective judicial investigation and from the protection of the law."
Schools all over the Gaza Strip went on strike in protest at the PA's decision.
Sources say the administration of U-S President Barack Obama has forced the decision on Fatah.
The report issued by UN human rights investigator Richard Goldstone has strongly criticized Israel over its 22-day offensive on the Gaza Strip and called for the prosecution of Israeli officials.
