Israel’s beefed-up security forces managed to contain another outbreak of Ramadan violence in Jerusalem and Temple Mt, on the night of Saturday, May 8, that was to have signaled an all-out Palestinian confrontation against Israel. Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) in Ramallah and Hamas military chief Muhammed Deif in Gaza – each for his own reasons – tried to inflame the Muslim masses on the Night of Al Qadr to go forward towards a major offensive against Israel. But, unlike on Friday night, the tens of thousands of worshippers at Al Aqsa Mosque left more or less quietly.
The next challenge facing Israel’s security forces is Jerusalem Day on Monday, May 10, when exuberant youngsters waving Israeli flags dance through the Old City streets to the Western Wall.

Since Mahmoud Abbas announced last Thursday the postponement of the Palestinian Authority (PA) elections and blamed Israel for refusing to allow the elections in eastern Jerusalem, criticism has been growing against him from outside and at home, as he faces Hamasâ attempts to destabilize the PA.
In a surprising announcement, former Qatari Foreign Minister Hamad bin Jassim al-Thani called for Abbasâ resignation and the transfer of power to the younger generation. In a tweet, al-Thani stated that âwith the announcement of the postponement of the parliamentary elections, the Palestinians have returned to zero, and although the reasons that led the Palestinian president to postpone the elections are clear, I say that it is his duty and by virtue of the current circumstances at this stage of his life, to transfer power in a peaceful and democratic manner.â
