Oh yeah, Abbas is a Fatah member and is worried about a Hamas coup in the West Bank. He`ll do anything to stay in power even if that means postponing presidential elections indefinitely on some pretext or another just like his predecessor, Arafat (MHRIH), did. Still, he`ll probably have to make a mild protest for domestic consumption to avoid looking like an Israeli collaborator while at the same time secretly giving the IDF a nod and a wink as it crushes his political rivals in the West Bank. Palestinian democracy in action!
