The Israeli Embassy in DC recently released the following video illustrating the danger of Palestinian President Abbas attempting to get observer status in the U.N. While it is amusing, it points out the folly of trying to side-step meaningful negotiations with the Israelis about the future of a Palestinian state. While the intentions of Abbas to get recognition from the U.N. are fairly clear, the statements from U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon on a two-state solution are not necessarily cut and dry. He has specified that there must be a lasting peace, but was not exactly clear on how to get there – most importantly, he did not seem to specify whether he was for or against the Abbas bus ride to statehood via the U.N.

Yasser Arafat Body To Be Exhumed

The Associated Press is reporting that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has granted permission for the remains of his predecessor, Yasser Arafat, to be exhumed, according to an aide. This comes only days after Switzerland’s Institute of Radiation Physics reported that they had found elevated traces of a radioactive substance on the belongings of Arafat.

The Institute’s findings have reignited the suspicions that poisoning led to Arafat’s death on Nov. 11, 2004 in a French military hospital.

Abbas has granted permission to exhume Arafat’s body after consulting with Arafat’s family, as well as religious leaders.
