How much sense can be made of this (apart from the obvious that is)?

On one hand:

Abbas delays decision on talks
Palestinian president holds back from quitting talks with Israel as Netanyahu allows construction freeze to end.


On the other:

Abbas says settlements block Mideast peace deal (AP)
AP - Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said Saturday there will be no peace deal with Israel unless the Jewish state stops settlement construction in areas the Palestinians claim for their future state.

  1. I read somewhere that he is going to consult the Arab League before deciding. That means he's staying.

  2. This is bad. Very bad..After all those vacuous threats he's now consulting!! It was a unique historical opportunity to make the whole world understand, if needed, the nature of this conflict by linking the halt of the peace talks to Israel's expansion and land theft..now that is lost as he's showing signs that he's ready to compromise endlessly and accept much less and less...
