As I've noted on a couple other threads, if the objective is a sovereign palestinian state, peaceful not mandatory, then clearly these agreements, I presume you're speaking of the border, advance that cause.
Yes, the border agreement was what I was referring to. Thanks for the reply. I may be mistaken, but hasn't the objective has been a sovereign state since '47? I think the original Palestinian Mandate set aside land, 80% of which became Jordan and the other 20% for the creation of 2 states -- Israel and a state for the Arabs. I don't think that Abbas has the fortitude or the political strength to disarm the groups that are opposed to the existence of a state of Israel.
