Reader comment on item: Guest Column: If Mahmoud Abbas Had a Palestinian State

Submitted by Terry, May 9, 2014 12:25

Abbas looks tired but he is also wiley and has status with U.S. The path to statehood most likely lies on a trajectory of alignment with American diplomatic support. However, perceptions in international relations are very important. Without the requisit charismatic appeal for the pan-Palestinian notion of statehood, Abbas may be eclipsed yet by the virulent Hamas faction in Gaza who are youth-oriented and definitely are a better psychological fir for the bumpy ride ahead.
