The enemy of my enemy is my friend
PLO-Fatah must be rally on the ropes if "some senior Fatah officials" want Abbas to resign and scrap the Palestinian Authority. Scrapping the PA will keep archrival Hamas from exercising power since Israel will presumably step in and assert direct rule. Israel may decide its time to deal with Hamas in the only terms it understands: the generous use of combat power. Somehow, I do not think Abbas wants to be remembered as the one who pulled the plug on the Palestinian proto-state.
