Palestinian Arabs have lost all faith in Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, according to Avi Naim, Head of the Beit Aryeh Local Council.
"The Palestinian leader is busy with slogans and public relations more than he is concerned for the civilian life of Palestinians in Judea and Samaria. Every Palestinian wants a blue ID card and an opportunity to work in Israel," Naim said on Friday.
"The reality in the Arab countries in the region and in the Gaza Strip have caused the Palestinians to realize that their leadership will not lead them to better places. Recent events in Jerusalem, which are sponsored by groups seeking to inflame the area, and the wild incitement in the mosques on Fridays were unable to causes the expected erosion among the Palestinians and in fact have totally failed," he added.
