But all the big players helped to weaken him. Tel Aviv will see no benefit in having a strong united Palestinian Authority. I feel for Abbas, I think he's a good man. Not a leader - but a good man.

In my opinion Abbas is a very weak ruler with no control of the situation in the region. Perhaps Mr. Abbas should explain why he wasn’t able to secure the release of Johnston before.
