Abbas won the presidency for Palestinians by a wide margin. He says he wants to stop terrorism against Israel. Appraently, a majority of Palestinians do too. But there's a lot still in the unknown. Does Abbas really mean that, or is that just rhetoric to increase popularity? Even if Abbas wants to stop terrorism, will the militant radical groups such as Hamas stop just because he's the leader and he wants them to? Will groups such as Hamas try to assassinate Abbas if he gets in their way (that is not unprecedented in Palestinian political history)? Will Palestinians come any closer to getting any land? We'll have to wait and see.
