The puppet is scared: and he can't get up

"Palestinian sources said Abbas has told the United States that he fears a plot against him by Hamas or Fatah dissidents amid unprecedented criticism of the PA chairman. The sources said Abbas has avoided public meetings and was trying to recruit political support from Arab allies in an effort to retain power in 2010. "Abbas is very scared about returning to the West Bank," a Palestinian source close to the leadership said. "He no longer feels he has any allies."" (thanks Ben)
