Why Abbas Is Not Good News

Isn't it good that the PA's Mahmoud Abbas took charge of the ceasefire?

Well, not if he speaks like this:

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Tuesday announced a permanent ceasefire between Israel and Palestine.  The ceasefire came into effect at 7:00pm Cairo time (1600 GMT).
Abbas, in a press conference in the West Bank city of Ramallah, added that the negotiating parties will return to Cairo at the earliest possible opportunity to discuss further points in the truce.
...Despite the truce, Abbas said that the question of future violence remains.  "What next?" he asked. "Will there be another attack on Gaza?"

Mr. Abbas, if Hamas doesn't launch rockets, dig terror tunnels, attempt to smuggle in advanced weapons, there'll be no attack on Gaza.
