Abbas suggests referendum, Israel offers guns
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said Thursday he will call a national referendum on accepting a Palestinian state alongside
Israel if Hamas does not agree to the idea within 10 days.
Wow, just wow. I honestly didn’t expect this. No one did, I’d imagine. Well, atleast Abbas is working towards resolving this conflict with Israel. Bully for him!
Then, it gets odder. Israeli PM Olmert and Defense Minister Peretz are going to allow the transfer of weapons to Abbas’ security forces. Nothing major it seems, just some weapons and ammo to protect the Palestinian President. But of course, the question is raise: Why? Apparently because its believed that he’s in danger and might be a target for assassination.
Thats right folks, Israel is helping to protect a Palestinian leader. I bet hell just got colder.
