Abbas makes his move
 Mahmoud Abbas, the president of the Palestinian Authority, announced on Thursday that he would not seek re-election in a presidential vote he has called for in January. While he said that this was not a maneuver, some of his aides have said that his decision is part of a strategy to persuade President Obama to support a full peace plan for an independent Palestinian state.
