Minister Katz: If Abbas Dismantles the PA, He Will Be Viewed as an Enemy


abasTransportation Minister Yisrael Katz commented on threats from PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) to dismantle the PA (Palestinian Authority) and return control of the autonomous areas to Israel.

“Now, the moment of truth it is apparent that Abu Mazen is confused”” Katz wrote earlier in the day. “Not willing to make concessions, addressing the United Nations and ran to hug Hamas. Negotiations actually ended with nothing and it is time to unite and stand together in front of the expected pressures. In addition, in response to a breach of the agreements, we must take measures in response to the significant and obvious first step: the decision to revoke the section that speaks of the right to ‘safe passage’ between Gaza, Yehuda and Shomron.

“If the Authority will announce dissolution, the immunity granted to senior PLO officials in [the] Oslo [Agreement] will e canceled. Jibril Rajoub will have the same status as Barghouti and all contact between MK Dr. Ahmed Tibi and Abu Mazen will be viewed as contact with an enemy agent. We have a wonderful country. We are correct and we will be victorious”.

  1. Israel is being quite hypocritical. If it wants to make peace with the Arabs Israel must recognize that it cannot possibly make peace with only a small part of them. What value is there to a peace agreement wherein Israel gives up something of value and in exchange fails to receive peace? If a Palestinian unity government fails to sign a peace agreement with Israel it is only a sign that there never really was any hope for peace in the first place. But Israel would have preferred an illusion of peace with Abbas for some reason. Go figure.
