Abbas is doing a great job to make the PA non-existent. He claims cooperation with the IDF is great but the IDF must stop entering Arab cities to arrests terrorists. Even Livni is not that naïve to agree.
Five years ago, the IDF abandoned a base called Shdema near Bethlehem, part of “Area C” designated as Israeli-controlled, and tried to turn it over to Arabs. A group of women stopped the army.

Obama was not joking at the UN. He actually said, “The world is a more stable place today than it was five years ago.” Does he watch TV? Does he know that Islamic terrorists killed 400 people in five days?

One of the least talked about issues in “peace talks” is security. Kerry “thinks,” pardon the term, that Abbas has stopped terror, so why didn’t the PA, instead of the IDF, raid Jenin to arrest a terrorist?
