this can be a great opportunity to correct past mistakes.

Just another Palestinian threat along with intifada,boycott or whatever Palestinians can think of that they hope will scare Israel into handing the country over to them. As in the past Israel will deal with all threats and it will get Palestinians nowhere. Sooner or later Palestinians will run out of threats.

Such a move would just recognize the reality of the facts on the ground.. Israel would get to run the schools and write all the text books, and hire all the cops and firefighters, and provide all the food and medical care. No more causes for Israeli complaints about the no-longer-extant-PA. What fun. A whole new beginning.

This negationist man is too wily to leave the funds given by the monster Ashton. If he goes ahead, they understand that their land is Jordan.thus Jews will retrieve their land forever. Hag pessah ve sameah

If this round of negotiations collapse, Abbas should make two propositions to UN security council. One for Palestine with 67-borders and East Jerusalem as its capital, and the other with one state for two peoples and next elections to decide the destiny of the region. Keeping millions of Palestinians without basic human rights and millions of Jews under threat of loosing their state generations after generations is not an option.

And we already are the only thing keeping a semblance of civility in Yhudah-Shomron. Please, please, acknowledge there is only one state here. And may anyone not wanting to live here go away. Oslo rest in ashes.

It will be safer if the Jews control the Security as they are linked to the Superpower USA and NATO a strong force.The Palestinians don't want the PsychosSuicidal Sharia Mass Murderers .But it will not be a cake walk .The Jews have a lot of Poverty and corruption.

abu mazen finances terror, mass murder and ballot box stuffing. Regardless of his words or acts, Sarah emeinu is in synch with the nations united in saying they must go! The UN demands that DPs be re patriated with those of like customs, beliefs and traditions. Enforce the right of return of the genocidal mass murdering extortionists back to the homicidal Hamite peninsular homeland of their own name and quit arming feeding and training them to kill you.

He says "A new generation arrives and asks us: 'What have you done?' I am now 79 years old, I cannot escape from passing off the flag," He goes on to say "The settlements endanger the peace process, and the new generation sees the two-state solution is becoming less and less likely, and that there is no escape from the one-state solution." So now hes getting cold feet as we approach finalising an agreement he would rather destroy Palestinian Identity to all become Israelis?...so whats our struggle for SELF DETERMINATION been all about Yet again and again - if the old man isn't not talking up a New Intifada, or Boycotts hes now proposing suddenly abandoning and walking away from Palestinians in the West Bank completely and closing down the entire Palestinian Project. . Does he honestly think Israel or Jordan will fill the vacuum? No..What will happen is that money dries up, society breaks down and the West Bank becomes a lifeless desert But that's OK....Abbas and Son of Abbas are OK...a lot of money stashed away for a comfortable retirement....Oh for an EASY life

Netanyahu will probably whine that Abbas will have taken a one-sided step, and will undoubtedly threaten him with sanctions. LOL !!!!!

Annex Judea and Samaria and repatriate its Arab residents to Jordan, country of their citizenship. Or, if they prefer, to Gaza. Their choice. And, finally, someone else's problem.

Sooner the better for Arabs as well as Israelis. Maybe then we can work on peace between the people.

He can dismantle the PA if he wants, it has had no authority since 2010. Responsibility would revert to the PLO, who signed Oslo and "represent the Palestinian people".

If the plan proceeds, the Palestinian leaders will their official authority, but settlements will be significantly more vulnerable to litigation in international courts.

whether dismantle or not, it make no different, because Hamas will ultimately take over from fatah, and hamas is armed, will not rest with Samaria Judea and East Jerusalem... if fatah can't even kick out hamas.,...fatah is basically in-existence . ... dismantle or not make no different.

ABBASS THE UN ELECTED FAILURE IS TRYING TO TAKE DOWN THE PA IN ORDER TO SAVE HIS TUSHY FROM THE MOB AT HIS DOOR. He's desparate to show ANYTHING that will save his neck from the blame game to come...he has his 67 years of FAIL. BUT HE'S NOW RICH BEYOND HIS WILDEST DREAMS...so what? When they finallly audit the PA they will want to call him back for an accounting...where did all the billions go? Dahlan has his resorts in Egypt, Abbass has his $10,000 suits and $2,000 shoes, armored limos and his own private army of body guards while "his people" are some of the poorest in the world-a nation of beggars that goes back generations and as far into the future as anyone can see..

After it is hit with WMD terrorism the focus will be off Israel-Palestine.

Dismantling the PA and working for a one-state solution is more likely to bring peace than the current farce of negotiations.

The Peace Talks are dead. Assuming Mahmoud Abbas carries out his threat and returns the keys giving Israel responsibility of ruling the Palestinians, is understandable. Israel continues building settlements in the occupied West Bank and destroying the two-state solution. There can be no Palestinian State with increased building activity in areas designated for that purpose. Let the Israeli Government get all the Palestinian lands so that true apartheid because of the occipatoon will become a reality which is what Bibi-Bennet are aiming. There can be no Palestinian State with increased Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

..as I said some weeks ago... With the PA leadership wasted, dumped at Libya or Pakistan, clearing out the terrorists can begin. Fatah members have to leave for Pakistan, Hamas will be sent to Libya. The other terror-fractions of the terroristic-islamic-cult will be dumped in Iran. Rewards must be offered to the civil populatin to reveal hiding places for terror-equipments. Then all the schools will be equipped with normal educational books, instead of the hate-books which is used today (also hate-books from Norway, (author Hans Sandnes;Israel stealing water...) Then, the pals-population must be given possibilities to be free of the deadly Islamic way of living, and convert into other civilized religions. From there the Israel will help developing a healthy society. And the billions of dollars pouring in from around the world will also make this a break even.

Next month I will be visiting Palestine, including Yafa, Akka, Shifa Amr, Al-Quds, Ramallah, Bethlehem, and Jericho. I come in peace, and I can't wait to reconnect with my ancestral homeland.

...would be welcome here, in Israel; also, the expelling of the PLO's leadership that came form Tunis based on certain commitments to the whole world, would be something to look forward to. In examining the "deal" with the gangsters of the PLO, since 1993, we can only report death, destruction, diversion of resources and efforts toward pleasing the extortionists. What is even sadder is the fact that the PLO leadership that committed to amend its Charter, 20 years ago, has no intention of doing so, thus continue to call for Israel's demise; for the "cleansing" of the ancestral homeland of the Jewish people of its Jews; and for the use of all means - terror and deception included - to achieve these goals. And some, worldwide, are naive enough to assume that an act of deception is a honest act "for peace"...!!

Abbas is a corrupt dictator & leader of a terrorist org. It was a huge mistake allowing the PLO into Israel & legitimizing them. They have never had the interests of the palestinians at heart, they only want power & to steal as much money as possible from international donors - which is most likely why Abbas will stay. If he were to stick to his threat & leave, this would give local palestinians a chance at self-rule.

Let's stop endlessly holding the ball & managing the clock. Decision time people, particularly 4our USA. Our USA can light-years better invest our generous resources @home & elsewhere ...

When will our prime minister ever wake up to the fact that its his job to lead and not just react . A one state solution under Israeli control will be an apartheid state and this wont be tolerated by the international community. Bibi, muster some courage and start solving this problem , otherwise others will "solve" it for us.

The Pals get over $1billion in aid from the taxpayers of the EU, USA and Japan every year. They will NEVER give up the cash cow and choose a harder life. They've spent decades setting up their monopolies and oligarchies and they are not going to volunteer to give up the good life. And if they do, so what? The Pals have the signed agreements that say they are in charge. We're NOT going to pay for them again. Read my lips. N.O.T.

Such a move would eradicate any cash flow for abass and company! Do you really think he would stop his cash flow????? What other governments should do is call for new elections and shut this crook up! He has no other option than to keep taking money because he is addicted to the money.

It's all our land anyways so who cares.

Good morning Abbas . In 2008 I wrote an article in Arabic questioning what you had done for the Palestinians up till that time ... I was able to see you are an impotent and helpless person on top of the PA . I was able to see the futility of your efforts to achieve any benefit for your people... I am on the very edge of complete despondence . These days I am quite apathetic....
