Security Commitments

Washington Post columnist David Ignatius blames Israel for the fact that the PA hasn’t been able to meet its road map security obligations. Ignatius fails to consider:

• For years, Yasser Arafat’s bloated PA security apparatus had more personnel than what was agreed upon in the Oslo process.

• Many of the PA security forces were also involved with the various terror organizations they were supposed to crack down on.

• The PA was reluctant to clamp down on Hamas before they became so powerful.
