Well, they now have a President for Life in charge - the PLO gave Abbas an indefinite extension of his presidency. Of course, that’s because Fatah can’t do anything with or about Hamas and Gaza, and there’s no peace process unless the Palestinians can agree on something (though it’s all too truthful that both Fatah and Hamas are seeking the ultimate destruction of Israel and Hamas thinks Fatah is a sellout for allowing Israel to exist in a 2-state solution until some period in the future).

Abbas is refusing to resume “peace talks” until the PA is given all of the pre-1967 lands, including Jerusalem, as a declared state.

IOW: Give us everything we want now, and then we’ll hold talks to discuss the surrender of the rest of Israel.
