All Israel has to do is annex Judea and Samaria. The Arabs residing therein are not stateless; they are Jordanian citizens. Israel thus owes them not a thing. Just a free bus ride to Amman. That much, they can have. We are NOT going to assume the care and feeding of that perpetually whiny and needy terrorist rabble. Jordan can look after that bottomless pit of want.

afat proved correct ,Barnea ?

Israel gets to choose the school curriculum, and the text books, and hire the teachers, and hire or fire the cops and firefighters, and run the schools and the Imams and ministers and run the TV and radio, and create the jobs. Israel would no longer have any reason for complaints since Israel would be doing everything. Exactly what Bennett and Lieberman and Netanyahu and Likud always wanted. Total 100% control of everything.

No use to cry over every scenario. The Palestinians reject a Jewish (majority) Israel. So, there is no point getting hysterical over what they are going to do. Israel will deal with it and move on

Abbas is feeling like the most important man in the whole world right now. He has been dictating the terms of talks, he has been threatening Bibi, Kerry has accepted just about every demand he has been making including non recognition of Israel as a Jewish state, the man is like an emperor. He has got his UN upgrade, he is now planning to join all kinds of UN bodies the idea he would dissolve the PA now and give up all that power and sense of self importance is unthinkable. If he did he would be Mr Abbas living as a subject of a crooked arab king or president and would have no power or influence in the running things and the world would soon forget him.

Barnea as ususal has it all backwards. All the arabs can leave the land of israel. And move to one of their arab states.

tehre are 1.5 arabs in the west b ank, not 2.5 million as barnea peddles blatant lies. despair, oh my god, make concessions and lets run to kerry and beg him to save the jews.. Youi miserable coward, stand up for once in your life to assert israeli right. You make me sick that there are jews like you and the whole rotten group at haaretz.

If Abbas dismantles the PA the Israel-Palestinian problem is over. Israel creates an autonomous principality like Monaco or Andorra, invites Sheldon Adelson to build a couple of high rise modern hotel/casinos in Ramallah, put restaurants on the Michelin star list, makes Bethlehem its capital, and sets up a helicopter shuttle to Lod. With employment nearing 100% the refugees will have a land they can return to and thrive.

Another Tier could maintain secure Jobs for The Palestinian Security Police and Officials and the EU will continue to support them .It could be a Reduced Tax zone with a International Conglomerate making up the difference.But the Basic Necessity Decades in the Future is the Palestinian Arabs and Jewish Israelis and Internationals develop Greater Capacity to defend the Holy Land with International Forces against The Common enemy -PsychoSuicide Mass Destroyers .

Israel will be better off without a terrorist PA next door.

Who says we have to do anything at all? The Arabs can deal with their own problems

to retire in the lap of luxury.

happen for years. 5 million Israelis paying billions of shekels for a few settlers to live life on the lamb. Meanwhile in Israel proper we will lose more and more services to pay for it

This is exactly the defeatist "analysis" we can expect from infallibly wrong far leftist Barnea. It is clownishly ridiculous. Dismantling the P.A. would vastly improve Israel's security and reduce Israel's security costs enormously. An estimated 10 per cent of Israel's economy is siphoned off by evil Oslo. The death of Oslo would be a huge boon for Israel. With no rational way to convince Israelis the P.A. is good, Barnea offfers more disgusting leftist fear mongering.

Go after the money they all grabbed while running the P.A. From Arafat on down. Loss of present wealth, and future collections will stop. No wealth, and being hounded for all their thievery should stop them cold. The game is bluff poker, and they like the lime light and their wealth along with being alive more then governing any real government!

All those billions of dollars in aid to the PA will now go to Israel which will actually use the funds to improve the lot of the Palestinians (instead of lining the pockets of PA cronies.) Abbas was a loser following a bigger loser, Arafat. Both of them refuse to give up jihad for the betterment of their people. I'm sure any average Arab shopkeeper could do a much better job than Abbas has done. After all, Abbas has NEVER had a real job, never earned a real paycheck. He's always made his living off 'the occupation.' He's a loser and has made his people into losers. Time for a well-deserved change. Goodbye Mr. Abbas.

Either give Abbas everything that he wants or you will be destroyed when he quits, i.e. Israel is doomed either way. If Ben Gureon and the Israelis of 1948 thought like Barnea, there never would have been an Israel. The UN created the misery of the Palestinians by supporting their intransigence, let them solve it.

No use to cry over every scenario. The Palestinians reject a Jewish (majority) Israel. So, there is no point getting hysterical over what they are going to do. Israel will deal with it and move on

faulty education. It is time to send the Palis home to where they belong.

For a fiction of a people to cause that much chaos is indeed spectacular. Fools exist even among Jews. How pathetic indeed. Just move these leeches away with a bit of money - that would solve the problem.

It is a good move by Abbas. It will be good for his people and for Israel. Why continue the conflict that is inflamed by the Anti-Semite world? It is better to live peacefully as Law-abiding citizens in Israel and thrive economically and educationally. It will end the conflict.

Nahum Barnea is needlessly creating false hype. The conclusions he reaches with such ease are both ridiculous, and unlikely. He can't even bring himself to a conclusion were Israel DOES NOT fill the vacuum left by the Palestinian Authority, and instead lets the Palestinians figure out for themselves how to conduct their lives. Why would Israel ever take back the Palestinian areas... it's not in our best interest.

How did the Gazans morph into Israel's welfare babies?

Groovy, man! Palis relinquish their self determination and sign up in droves for OBibi-Care!

...and there are only bad things on the horizen. Bears in the woods. Toilets will not run smoothly. The sky WILL fall. Underarm deodorant will not work. Oslo has been dead for years. They just forgot to bury it, and say kaddish is all.
