Syria needs the Golan Heights back in its possession to enhance its chances of driving Israel into the Negev in a future Jihad.
The PA is in need of western money to become strong enough to be effective in a future Jihad against Israel.
Hamas cannot be in power in order for the west to restart the welfare payments to the Palestinian Authority, nor can they be in any false peace negotiations because of their: (1) Refusal to recognize Israel as a state, (2) Stated determination to destroy her as a nation, and (3) Refusal to honor any pre-agreements made with the previous Palestinian government.
With Hizbollah settling back into its old offensive positions just across Israel’s northern border in Lebanon, Syria making a renewed effort to get Israel to return the Golan Heights, the Palestinian Authority’s effort to get a renewed flow of foreign money to rebuild its forces, and the Fatah, Israeli, and American attempt to suppress Hamas, I am very hopeful it will lead to the long awaited false peace of I Thessalonians.
I Thessalonians 5:3,4 – For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. [4] But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
The following articles from the Jerusalem Post and Haaretz indicate that Syria and the Palestinians
are attempting to work their way around these three obstacles to get a false peace and eventual Jihad.

Rice compliments Abbas’ Leadership
JPost Staff, THE JERUSALEM POST
October 3, 2006
“We have great admiration for you and leadership,” US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice told Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas at a press conference on Wednesday following their meeting in Ramallah.
Rice added that the US was “very concerned” about the plight of the Palestinians and pledged to improve living conditions in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
She said that the US would “redouble efforts” to help the Palestinians.
The secretary of state went on to say that the US was aware of the hard work that needed to be done in order to achieve a two state solution but said that the US remained committed to the cause.
“You have the strong support of the US and a pe
rsonnel commitment from President George Bush and I,” she pledged.
Abbas, speaking alongside Rice, said any new Palestinian government must honor signed agreements with Israel.
The PA chairman laid down the demand shortly after saying that his efforts to reach a power-sharing agreement with the Hamas had broken down.
Abbas said there was “no indication” of a new dialogue with Hamas.

Abbas: ‘No indication’ of fresh unity government talks with Hamas
October 4, 2006
By the Associated Press
Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas said Wednesday that there is “no indication” of fresh dialogue with Hamas, after talks on forming a more moderate unity government broke down several days ago.
Speaking a joint press conference with U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Abbas said any new Palestinian government must honor signed agreements with Israel.
Meanwhile, Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas on Wednesday accused the U.S. of trying to “rearrange” the Middle East to suit American and Israeli interests.
“She cares only to rearrange this region and to rearrange the Palestinian scene in a way that serves the American and Israeli agenda,” Haniyeh said.
The international community has imposed sanctions on the Hamas-led government, which has rejected key demands to renounce violence, recognize Israel and respect previous peace deals between Israel and the Palestinians.
The Palestinians had hoped that the formation of a unity government would ease the crippling aid embargo.
Abbas, who also heads the Fatah movement, ousted by Hamas in the January parliamentary elections, said earlier in the day that a new cabinet must be formed to end the recent surge in violence that erupted after coalition talks collapsed and which has claimed more than 10 lives in three days.
He did not elaborate.
“There is no dialogue now,” Abbas said at a news conference with Bahraini Foreign Minister Sheikh Khalid Bin Ahmed Al-Khalifa.
A preliminary coalition agreement announced on September 11 “is over now, and we have to start from square one,” he said.
Hamas-Fatah violence enters third day
Interfactional violence continued throughout the West Bank and the Gaza Strip on Wednesday for the third consecutive day since unity government talks broke down.

‘PM would agree to talks with Syria’
JPost Staff and AP, THE JERUSALEM POST
October 2, 2006
Infrastructure Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer said Tuesday that Israel would agree to engage in peace talks with Syria in the event of an official Syrian approach.
According to the senior Labor Party member, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert would agree to hold negotiations if the Syrians entered without pre-conditions and only if the recognition of Israel’s right to exist were promised, Army Radio reported.
On Saturday, Syrian President Bashar Assad said he was ready to negotiate with Israel. In an interview with Spanish newspaper El-Pais, Assad said it would take six months to reach an agreement with Israel.
If a peace agreement would not be reached, he added, war would break out.
With that, Ben-Eliezer also said that Isarel must take into account Assad’s recent threats towards Israel, and prepare accordingly.
