The collaboration of President Mahmoud
Abbas with the US-Israeli plan may cost him his function, if not his life: he
agreed to cut the West Bank from Gaza
and to establish a new government in Ramallah that lacks the support of the
elected Parliament. In exchange, the Israeli government declared its readiness
to give him part of the Palestinian tax money, which has been de facto
confiscated by Israel.
Additionally, the US
administration and the European Union declared their readiness to send
financial support.

With the Hamas
takeover of the Gaza Strip between 10 and 15 June 2007, the position of the
Palestinian Authority (PA) among other nations has changed dramatically. Israel, the EU, and the US have all
announced that they are resuming direct aid to the PA, now that it is
controlled by the Fatah party once again. They had terminated aid to the PA
after Hamas won the Prime Minister position and a Parliamentary majority in
early 2006. All of these world leaders have supported PA President Mahmoud
Abbas’s decision to fire Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh (of Hamas), disband the
government, name a new cabinet without Hamas members, and rule by emergency
decree. All have also expressed interest that some aid should go to the Gaza Strip
in addition to the Fatah-controlled West Bank, though through an intermediary
rather than directly to Hamas.
