As reported in the Palestinian media, the brief argues that a U.N. decision to recognize Palestinian statehood replaces the .?.?. [Palestine Liberation Organization] with the Palestinian Authority, and this would have what the article calls “dramatic legal implications” .?.?. . These include the legal and practical limitations on the PA (Its lawyer says that the PA “is a subsidiary body, competent only to exercise those powers conferred on it by the Palestinian National Council. By definition, it does not have the capacity to assume greater powers.”) The PA as it stands now is a weak, fig-leaf organization. Which is by design: the PA is the organization that nominally rules the West Bank, and which collects all of the substantial benefits due the Pals under Oslo. However, the less power the PA has, the more it leaves the real ruling bodies, the PLO, Fatah and Hamas, free to renege on all the terms of Oslo (the PLO and Fatah do this just as much as Hamas) and declare themselves dedicated to the perpetual jihad. If the PA either grows stronger or disappears, it's a disaster for their schemes.
