Palestinian Prime Minister threatens to resign (it must be thursday then)
Sources close to Palestinian PM Abu-Ala say he is considering passing the torch back to Arafat. Abu-Ala wants to eliminate role of Palestinian PM completely.
What a coincidence I know some Israelis who are thinking along the same lines
"Palestinian Prime Minister Abu-Ala is seriously considering stepping down from his position after U.S. President Bushâs speech last night," sources close to Abu-Ala told Maariv Online.
GO DUBYA!
According to the sources, Abu-Ala was considering resignation before the speech was delivered, but the speech "accelerated" his desire to step down. In fact, since Wednesday night he has been considering the option "very seriously". Those close to Abu-Ala say that he is considering taking action to eliminate the role of Prime Minister, thereby returning complete control of the Palestinian Authority to Chairman Arafat.
Which is gonna do the Paleos enormous amounts of good... | At a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, Bush promised that Palestinian refugees would not return to Israel, but rather to the Palestinian state which will be established in the future.
If they don't, there's no reason to establish it, is there? | In addition, in a letter to Sharon, Bush expressed support for the security barrier and for leaving pockets of settlements after Israelâs withdrawal from Judea and Samaria. Following Bushâs speech, Abu-Ala said: "Bushâs statements are destroying the peace process."
Bwahahahahahahah
At a press conference which was held following an emergency meeting of the Palestinian Government, he said that all the American statements are unacceptable to him and that the Palestinians will not agree to give up their rights.
