What's Your Angle?

Mahmoud Abbas wants the Russians to play a role in securing a historic peace in the Middle East.

What's my angle? Well, I think that the best way for Russia to start encouraging peace in the Middle East would be not selling missiles to Syria.

In a related story, Israel is slowing its pullout from several towns in the West Bank.

JERUSALEM — Israel is going to slow its planned pullout from five West Bank towns after a day of violence strained an informal cease-fire, and it will stop the process altogether if Palestinians don't halt all attacks, Israeli security officials said Tuesday.

Despite the warning, Palestinian militants fired three mortar shells at a Jewish settlement in Gaza on Tuesday, following a barrage Monday. The shells caused no damage or injuries.

I'm hopeful that this will serve as a further opportunity for the Israelis and the "Palestinians" to work together; unfortunately, I won't be at all surprised if "Palestinian" terrorists screw this whole thing up.
