JERUSALEM, Israel – The fighting between Israel and Gaza continued Friday with no signs of stopping. Israel is amassing thousands of troops along the Gaza border ahead of a possible ground invasion into the Hamas-controlled territory.
The military called up an additional 9,000 reservists to the Gaza frontier Thursday evening, a major signal that the conflict is escalating despite efforts by Egyptian mediators to broker a ceasefire.
Brig. Gen. Hidai Zilberman said tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery were being prepared “for mobilization at any given moment.”

Abate Abbas et al.
The Palestinian Authority is a fundamentally disordered political regime. Earlier this year PA President Mahmoud Abbas, age 85, entered the
fifteenth seventeenth year of his four-year term. Abbas recently made news of a kind. He issued a decree calling for new parliamentary and presidential elections within the next several months. Barak Ravid has a brief Axios item with relevant background here (or here via Yahoo News).
Aaron Boxerman’s Times of Israel story circles around a relevant point: “Abbas has promised elections several times since his four-year term was supposed to have expired in 2009. However, repeated attempts to hold votes for president and parliament have failed, largely due to the inability of rivals Fatah and Hamas to agree to terms.”

The Abraham Accords, the term given to the series of agreements reached last summer allowing normal relations between Israel and several of her Arab-Muslim neighbors, including the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and now Morocco, were greeted with optimism and approval by the Trump administration.
“Everybody who joined the Abraham Accords will see the benefits for their own people,” declared US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who said he was “highly confident that many, many more nations will ultimately choose to do the right thing and recognize Israel as the rightful homeland of the Jewish people.”
