Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas continues to push for early elections. Abbas is hoping to get the ruling Hamas party out of power in an effort to lift sanctions. The West is backing Abbas, as he seeks a two-state system, whereas Hamas wants to destroy Israel. British Prime Minister Tony Blair appears to be on board:
"If the international community really means what it says about supporting people who share the vision of a two-state solution ... then now is the time for the international community to respond."I am not sure if the two-state solution is going to work, but then again, what will work in that region? I guess it is worth a shot anyway. They have been discussing the two-state solution for some time now though, so I would at least like to see them try it.
