What a freakin’ joke. In the revolving door known as the Palestinian Authority cabinet, Ahmed Qureia is now threatening to resign: Qureia Suggests Quitting Palestinian Post.

Following his failure to win parliament approval for his Cabinet, Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia held a stormy meeting with Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat in which he suggested he no longer wanted the job, officials said. Arafat’s spokesman said there were “serious differences” but denied Qureia had resigned.

The good part of this: it must be driving the European Union crazy, as the Palestinians continue to blow every chance.

And speaking of guys named Ahmed blowing things, another suicide bomber blew himself up near an Israeli army base, but thankfully no humans were killed:

Thursday’s bombing killed the attacker, wounded two Israeli soldiers, one seriously, and slightly wounded a Palestinian, army officials said.

The Al Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades claimed responsibility for the attack and identified the bomber as Ahmed Safadi, an 18-year-old high school student from the village of Oref south of Nablus.

The bomber walked up to an office at an Israeli army base near the West Bank town of Tulkarem where Palestinians apply for humanitarian permits to cross roadblocks and blew himself up, the army said.

The symbolism of this failed mass murderer blowing himself up at a place where Palestinians can apply for humanitarian permits to cross roadblocks is sadly ironic. And still the international community will whine about the “humiliating” checkpoints.
