ABBAS MOVES TO BLOCK OLMERT'S PLAN

Abbas Urges Arabs to Block Israel's Plan - Jamal Halaby
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas said Sunday he was rallying Arab nations to block Israel's plan to unilaterally redraw its borders. "We are working now and consolidating our contacts with Arab countries to distance Olmert's plan from the table and solidify the Roadmap as a basis for negotiations and dialogue," Abbas said after meeting Jordanian King Abdullah.

Israel Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev said Sunday that Israel's leaders wanted to meet Abbas to discuss how to move forward, "but it must be remembered that the Palestinian government is run by Hamas, which has said in no uncertain terms that it rejects the Roadmap." (AP/Forbes)

OF COURSE, SOME ISRAELIS AREN'T THRILLED ABOUT THE PLAN EITHER. BUT FOR DIFFERENT REASONS.
