News and current affairs
Nonetheless, recent events, together with the PA's dwindling resources, have diminished Abbas's credibility among Palestinians, who increasingly view him as desperate.
Non-PA groups like Hamas acquired their own weapons mostly by buying them from Israeli soldiers or on the Israeli black market.
To be sure, the new Palestinian Authority (PA) took power under difficult conditions, but which new liberation movement does not face serious challenges when it finally must govern?
The PA had an opportunity to lay the institutional foundations for a functioning state.
The vacuum that the PA left elsewhere, including the social sphere, was filled by Hamas.
The high esteem in which Palestinians hold Hamas also grew out of what Hamas actually did for them while the PA squandered its resources.
Helping Hamas would empower radical Islamism and Iranian ambitions, while undercutting the PA and everyone else, not just Israel.
The Palestinian Authority (PA) is less extreme, but its leadership is weak, doesn't control Gaza, and is still full of hard-line elements.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was furious; he called Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas a liar, and gave permission for 3,000 new Jewish homes to be constructed on occupied Palestinian territory.
His foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman, had already threatened to crush the PA government on the West Bank if the UN vote went ahead.
Improving the economy, rather than violent confrontation, has been the PA's main concern.
In his attempt to counter Arafat's political corruption and micromanagement, Abbas lost whatever chance he had to maintain the loyalty of the Fatah leadership, newly appointed PA officials, security personnel, and, most importantly, local militants.
During a meeting, which I attended, with a delegation from the International Press Institute to obtain the release of the BBC journalist Alan Johnston, abducted in Gaza in March, Abbas explained the PA's inability and weakness.
Under Israel's occupation, and then with the establishment of the Palestinian Authority (PA) in 1994, the territories remained separated geographically, but not politically.
In a certain sense, Arafat is the Palestinian Authority (PA).
In a post-Arafat situation, it will be much harder for any successor or successors to impose discipline and hierarchy on the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), the PA, or Fatah.
If he becomes Fatah's leader (and hence leader of the PA and the PLO as well), any compromise with Israel would become unimaginable.
Still, if Ghuneim takes over as the PA's and Fatah's leader, which could happen next year, a breakdown of negotiations with Israel and a new round of fighting would not be surprising.
The flow of money to the new Palestinian Authority was evident mostly in high-rise buildings, which the PA built to deal with overcrowding.
Even the Palestinian Authority (PA) blames Hamas for the fighting.
Activists in Fatah, Hamas's nationalist rival which runs the PA, make no secret of their hope that Hamas loses the war.
Recognizing this reality, virtually all Arab states - other than Iran's ally, Syria - and the PA want to see Hamas defeated in the Gaza Strip.
Few believe that the PA and Hamas's main rival, Fatah, will be willing or able to make such an agreement for decades.
The US reaction is key: Rather than punishing the PA, and maybe the UN as well, it should use the resolution to propose the kind of diplomatic circuit-breaker for which the world has long been hoping.
The PA prime minister, Salam Fayyad, like his Hamas counterparts in Gaza, rules by decree, keeps parliament inactive, and silences the opposition.
With no institutionalized democratic legitimacy, the PA is bound to rely on its security forces and on those of the occupier, Israel, to enforce its will.
Abbas's withdrawal comes at a time when Palestinian frustration with the political process has rendered suspect the entire rationale behind the PA, established in the mid-1990's, following the Oslo Accords.
