Description
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Tuesday he had given the go ahead for a shipment of weapons to Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, whose loyalists are engaged in bitter infighting with the militant Islamic Hamas.
... "I authorized last night the transfer of arms and ammunition to chairman Abu Mazen in order to strengthen his presidential guard, so he can strengthen his forces against Hamas," Olmert said, referring to Abbas by his widely-used nickname.
This is quite tragic. Of course, if Olmert had really wanted to strengthen Pres. Abbas's position vis-a-vis Hamas, he and the then-active Ariel Sharon had every opportunity to do so throughout all of 2005, when Abbas was the duly elected PA president and he had a pliant Fateh person, Abu Alaa', as prime minister. For all that year (and until now) Abbas begged and beseeched Sharon and Olmert to give him something politically, in terms of meaningful peace negotiations or elements of the content thereof, that he could take to his people and show them thereby that his approach was fruitful for them.
