Palestine: Time For The G7 And Others To Cut Off Aid To The West Bank.

This is beyond disgraceful. Abbas, widely regarded as nothing more than a corrupt dictator, has postponed legislative elections previously scheduled for November 28 until next year. They are now set for September 2027, when a presidential election will also be held. He has tried to pin the tail on the Israeli donkey, but most observers regard that as a thinly veiled pretext. What's the real motive? Fatah would probably lose its stranglehold on power in a free and fair parliamentary election. 

As a result, it's time for the major democracies to cut off all aid to Palestine in the wake of this decision. Abbas needs to get the message loud and clear. Postponing legislative elections until next fall is unacceptable.
