In the words of her communications director Shai Ben Maor, Abbas&#8217;s decision to turn a document written by convicted Palestinian murderers and attempted murderers sitting in Israeli prisons into the centerpiece of his diplomatic policy is &#8220;an internal Palestinian issue&#8221; and so Israel should not be weighing in on it.<\/em> <\/p>\n<p>What is the context of Abbas&#8217;s new initiative regarding which Israel is supposed to have no official position? <\/p>\n<p>After receiving the Bush Administration&#8217;s full-throated endorsement during Prime Minister Ehud Olmert&#8217;s visit to Washington, DC last week, Abbas sprang into action.
