Surprisingly, the situation in the Middle East is not getting better:
Mahmoud Abbas, Palestinian Authority president, on Monday held consultations with his ministers and security advisers after Israel warned that his time was running out for a swift crackdown on militant groups.
It will be extremely challenging for Abbas to shut down these murder groups, seeing as how he supports them. I am not sure what exactly this means:
"There are intensified instructions to the Palestinian security forces to assume their responsibilities," Communications Minister Azzam al-Ahmed, told reporters today after a Cabinet meeting.
How will statements like these help, when the responsibility of the "security forces" is to obliterate Israel? And how is legitimizing the murder groups going to help?
He disclosed that Abbas had also issued instructions to recruit gunmen belonging to Fatah's armed wing, the Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, into the security forces.
This should be a challenging week in the ME.
