Steinitz: Abbas Is Offering Us "Collective Suicide"
(Jerusalem Post) Yaakov Lappin - PA President Mahmoud Abbas' "demand for Israel to withdraw to the 1967 lines, without holding on to the Jordan Valley, without defensible borders, without security control, and without the demilitarization of Gaza...is a recipe for collective suicide," Strategic Affairs Minister Yuval Steinitz said Monday. "Hamas took over half of the PA....If this repeats itself in Judea and Samaria [the West Bank], this becomes an existential threat. From there, thousands of short-range rockets...put Tel Aviv, Gush Dan and Jerusalem in range.... What constitutes a severe threat in Gaza becomes an existential threat from Judea and Samaria."
