HAMAS AND ISLAMIC JIHAD KICK BALL BACK INTO ABU MAZEN'S COURT

BBC:

Hamas and Islamic Jihad have said they are not bound by the ceasefire agreed between Palestinian and Israeli leaders at a summit in Egypt on Tuesday. The two militant groups were at the forefront of attacks on Israel during the Palestinian uprising, but have been observing an unofficial truce. ... "The resistance is not committed to what has been agreed at the summit... since the Palestinian conditions were not achieved. "We consider that there is no truce and there is no deal to stop the resistance." An Islamic Jihad spokesman, Mohammed al-Hindi, said the summit had brought "nothing new". However, Palestinian Foreign Minister Nabil Shaath said he was "fully content" that compliance with the ceasefire would be "complete and comprehensive". A senior Palestinian official has meanwhile been sent to Lebanon to urge the Hezbollah militia to back the peace moves, French news agency AFP reports, citing unnamed sources.

If and when there is another terrorist attack, Abbas must take ACTION. And that will be his first real test and it will determine if this new phase of the peace process has an likelihood of succeeding.
