« PA: The Wild West | Main | Sham in Egypt » PA Anarchy
By Micah Halpern
Friday April 1, 2005 I've Been Thinking: Anarchy now reigns in the Palestinian Authority. Tirawi is the head of PA West Bank Intelligence. He quit because of anarchy and an inability to control the situation. He claims his underlings are not following through, he says that he receives no support from Abbas. As part of the deal with Israel for regaining Palestinian control in certain cities - like Jericho and Tul Karum - the PA accepted the condition that they disarm and register those people that Israel called terrorists and Israel would refrain from "targeting" those individuals. This has yet to happen. Is it possible that Abbas does not want to move ahead? Possible that he prefers this status of anarchy to an ordered and safe democratic society? When you become prime minister it comes with a price. The going's on in the Palestinian Authority is beginning to remind of a child's tale -- the Emperor's New Clothes. 4 June 2017 12:14 PM in Thoughts
