In the London Times, here
"....Palestinian officials and civil leaders told The Times that their governing body was all but defunct and would either waste away or turn into a kind of Vichy regime providing a cover for Israel’s continuing occupation of the West Bank.......Some Palestinians even said that if Israel did not soon agree to statehood, the Palestinians should abandon dreams of independence and confront the Jewish state with its worst nightmare – a one-state solution, in which Arabs would, in decades to come, outnumber Jews.......“The PA is a house with nothing inside...[it]is wasting away,”.......The authority of the PA leader, Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian President and Fatah head known popularly as Abu Mazen, was rapidly diminishing, she said. ......“Palestinians are asking, ‘Is this really the only strategy we have, just to negotiate and negotiate?’ If you add Bibi [Netanyahu] to the mix, then it is not just a question of not believing in Abu Mazen, but questioning the utility of the PA.”
