    In a speech before the United Nations General Assembly, he says that as Israel’s refusal to commit to the agreements signed “render us an authority without real powers.”

    Given that, Abbas says, “we cannot continue to be bound by these agreements.”

    It was Abbas’ most serious warning yet to Israel that he might walk away from engagement with Israel and dissolve the Palestinian Authority. He stopped short of accompanying his threat with a deadline.

    He had threatened to drop a “bombshell” in the speech – prompting speculation he would sever ties with Israel over its settlement expansion and other hardline policies.

    That means that Israel is no longer bound to recognize Palestinians as anything other than Muslims living on Israeli territory who are not citizens of Israel. That frees Israel to anything they wish with them. It also eliminates the Palestinian police, who should surrender the weapons that US gave them. They also relinquish their squatters rights to any and all land. Big mouth. Sour puss.

    Yup! He should also fold up his tent and move to one of the other Arab countries. While he’s at it he should take the rest of his “citizens” with him.

    I guess that means that Israel can now let Hamas knock him off.

    getting rid of the Oslo accords would be the best to happen to Israel,as the Oslo accords were a joke to begin with and did not advance any peace with arabs

    The Arabs never really kept the Oslo Accords anyway. They just paid lip service to it and things convenient for them.
