When (not if) the Palestinian Authority fails, will we see a return to something resembling the pre-1967 status quo? Captain Ed notes this from the Times of London, indicating it might be.

Some Palestinian analysts predict that a collapse of the Palestinian Authority would pave the way for Jordanian custodial rule in the West Bank and a similar arrangement for Egypt in Gaza.

“The message is the Palestinians cannot rule themselves. This fighting will only end if a third party takes over,” said Ibrahim Abrash, a political analyst in Gaza.

How odd that the solution to the “Palestinian Problem” might be to essentially turn the clock back four decades – and that such a solution might, in fact, be the most secure option for Israel.
