Check Mate

Israel has crossed the line many times. By destroying the infrastructure again and again of the Palestinian Authority, by arresting ministers and Members of Parliament, and by preventing Mahmoud Abbas President of the Palestinian Authority from leaving Gaza, she unveils true nature of its relation with the Palestinian Authority. It was the one thousand error of Arafat not dissolve the Palestinian Authority when he was under siege. The poor man thought that being a President would have given him protection. Abu Mazen should now dissolve the Palestinian Authority before he meets the same fate. He is checked mated. The UN should come in or Israel assumes the power and responsibilities of the occupation without hiding behind the stigmatized Palestinian Authority or the Infamous Oslo agreement.
