Newly elected Palestinian President Abbas took strong steps this week to contain terrorism coming from the West Bank and Gaza Strip against Israel. He has deployed Palestinian police forces into those areas with express orders to stop terrorists and banned weapons from being owned by Palestinian civilians. Israel has responded by stopping military action in the Gaza Strip and stopped targeting Hamas members and leaders for assassination.
In addition, there is now talk of a summit between the top officials of Israel and Palestine and the prospects for a return to the roadmap to peace look brighter.
They still have a long ways to go, but at least they’re talking again, which is great news for the peace process.
