WHAT WILL PALESTINIANS DO AFTER THE U.N. VOTE?
The Palestinian Authority will almost certainly win the vote on Thursday at the U.N. granting observer authority status to the state of Palestine. But it will pale in triumph for President Mohamoud Abbas and his West Bank-based Fatah movement. So weak has his administration become, especially in contrast to its rival, the Gaza-based Hamas movement, that some governments such as Britian, are considering voting for the resolution, even though they oppose it in principle, out of fear the Authority is fading into irrelevance. Israel, too, appears to have toned down its plans for reacting, with officials saying they will wait and see what Mr. Abbas does after the vote.
