Israel pins no hope on 'pathetic Abbas'

Press TV News - Nov 8, 2007

Israeli intelligence circles see Abu Mazen as incapable of implementing any agreement reached at the upcoming Annapolis conference.

A joint document by the notorious General Security Service (Shin Bet), the Mossad and military intelligence reported that Israel's intelligence community considers the Head of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmud Abbas, a powerless figure 'who even has difficulty controlling car thieves and drug dealers in his own territory.'

"There is a total detachment between Abbas and the Palestinian people," said the document, adding " if a pact is agreed at the upcoming conference of Annapolis, the Head of the Palestinian Authority has no security apparatus capable of implementing it. "

In July, US President George W. Bush called for a summit to invite Zionist officials, the Palestinians and some of the world leaders to resume the so-called Middle East peace talks.

Analysts and some Palestinian political figures, however, have expressed skepticism over the outcomes of the conference, arguing that the summit would not address the core issues of the conflict, including the issues of al-Quds and Palestinian refugees.
