A Democratic Palestinian State is Just Around the Corner

I’m not sure how much success Abbas is going to have physically confronting in Hamas, given that he can’t even control his own party:


Tensions between Palestinian Authority police and militant groups erupted into violence Friday as Palestinian gunmen opened fire at a police station, sparking a gunfight that left three people wounded… The gunmen belonged to al Awda, a small militant group affiliated with Abbas’ ruling Fatah party. Representatives of the group said they acted in response to police attempts to arrest one of their members who was driving a stolen car.

Fortunately for him, he has yet to demonstrate that he’s even actually interested in physically confronting Hamas. So that’s good then.
