I think that the so-called investigation of the source of the leak of the Palestine papers has nothing to do with this development.

This has everything to do with the triumph of the Egyptian revolution. We can't forget that the stooge Abbas was one of the few to openly back the Pharaoh to the end.

I think that this is the first big rat to abandon the sinking PA ship, and I am certain that others will follow.

Abbas should be looking for a falafel stand in Tel Aviv, next to that of Antoine Lahad.

"Saeb Erekat, the Palestine Liberation Organisation's chief negotiator, has resigned from his post, after it emerged that the source of the Palestine Papers leak was in his own office.

The decision was announced on Saturday, at the same time as a Palestinian Authority (PA) official announced that the body would be holding presidential and legislative elections before September this year.

Erekat said his resignation came as a result of the investigation into the Palestine Papers, a set of leaked documents that was released by Al Jazeera......"
