Good Plan
And since Abbas is being so enthusiastic about dismantling terrorism, the United States is still pressuring Israel to give him weapons:
Another bone of contention between Israel and the United States concerns the supply of arms and ammunition to the PA. The U.S. administration believes Abbas' regime must be bolstered, including by means of supplying it with arms and ammunition to combat the terror organizations. Israel is opposed to the sale of arms to the Palestinians. Under a possible compromise, Israel may eventually agree to the supply of ammunition to the PA, but no new weapons.
Except Abbas isn't really enthusiastic about dismantling terrorism. The part about the United States trying to force Israel to give him weapons, though - that's true.
