Peace With Israel: The PA Is In It For The Money

If it makes you feel any better, Abbas will be coming back to 'talk peace' with Olmert. Basically, he has no choice:

According to official assessments in Jerusalem, the PA does not want to call off the negotiations, if for no other reason than continuing talks is the only card it holds.

"Without the negotiations, the Palestinian Authority doesn't have anything," one senior government official said. "The fact is that the international community pledged billions of dollars to them in Paris because of [the PA's] commitment to Annapolis and negotiations. If they stop the negotiations, they will lose that international support, and without that, they have nothing - they don't have Gaza, and they barely have control of the West Bank."

Peace for Dollars!
