Full Gas in Neutral? -Herb Keinon Prime Minister Olmert and Palestinian Authority Chairman Abbas are, to borrow the language of a mechanic, putting the pedal to the metal on a car sitting high up on a hydraulic jack.
In other words, it's full gas in neutral.
As swell as it might be that Olmert and Abbas are holding talks, all the optimism and good cheer and willingness to revisit what are essentially the Clinton parameters of 2001 cannot paper over the fact that Abbas can't implement any agreement...
The idea that if you just show the Palestinians a skeleton of a potential agreement, then they will eject Hamas and hop on board the peace train seems somewhat simplistic.

Abbas is looking to bring his people peace and the promise of prosperity with the hope that the backing of the people will fall behind him, not Hamas. The people voted in Hamas' legitimacy and they can vote it out again.
