Jerusalem – Sona Al Deek

Israeli sources have said that Israeli and US political leaders have been surprised by the Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas’ commitment to the Palestinian bid. The leaders reportedly expected Abbas to renege on the bid at the eleventh hour, particularly in the face of pressure from Arab countries. The US has been anxious to avoid using its veto power, in fear of the impact that the move would have on its position in the Arab world. The sources explain that Abbas’ commitment will lead to a change in the way he is perceived by Israeli security forces. A high level meeting has reportedly taken place in Washington between Israel and the US to discuss the relationship with Abbas in the future. Meanwhile, Israeli authorities have put their security forces on high alert ahead of large protests expected to take place in the West Bank on Friday. Sources added that Israel is preparing for heavy clashes between Palestinians and settlers amid fears that Settlers will attempt to punish the Palestinians for the UN bid. Security forces said that clashes are expected to take place in Shelah, Yitzhar, Kiryat Arba, Psagot, Bethel, and cured Shomron, in addition to in smaller settlements in the northern West Bank, including Hermesh and Mevo Dotan. Over the past few days, a number of radical settlers have held meetings to plan the clashes, which are expected to take place away from the settlements. A human rights organisation in Judea and Samaria distributed a copy of the Dromi Law to all settlers, which allows them to use weapons to protect property and in self-defence. Police sources said that they have no information on whether unusual events will take place today. Large numbers of protestors will gather across cities today to watch Abbas’ speech, which will be broadcast on large screens in city centres.
