It's about time to call Abu Mazen's bluff.
The Obama Administration threatened what could be described as diplomatic and economic sanctions against the Palestinians if their leader, Mahmoud Abbas, goes through with his own threat to dismantle the Palestinian Authority.
Abbas hinted at such a move in an interview last week with Egyptian media, complaining that Israels unwillingness to meet 100 percent of Palestinian demands meant a two-state solution was increasingly unlikely.
Over the weekend, Palestinian officials told Israeli media that Abbas and his senior aides were considering canceling the Oslo Accords and dismantling the Palestinian Authority, a move that would make Israel directly responsible for all Palestinian Arabs and dangerously tip local demographic figures.
