Abbas: ''Unpopular and politically weak''

2025-11-18

[IsraelTimes] Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas

turns 90 on Saturday, still holding authoritarian power in tiny pockets of the West Bank, but marginalized, weakened, deeply unpopular among Paleostinians, and struggling for a say in a postwar Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

Israel has tightened its lock on the West Bank, where Jewish settlements are expanding and attacks by settlers on Paleostinians have spiked amid the olive harvest season that began early last month.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected Paleostinian statehood under the PA, which Israel accuses of incitement to terrorism through its school system and payments to families of Paleostinian prisoners. Netanyahu’s allies have pressed for outright annexation of the West Bank in a bid to torpedo the prospect of Paleostinian statehood.

For now, the US has bent to Israel’s refusal to let the PA govern postwar Gaza. With no effective leader, critics fear Paleostinians in the coastal territory will be consigned to live under an international body dominated by Israel’s allies, with little voice and no real path to statehood.
