NYT: Israel Confirms Arms Shipment Sent to Aid Abbas

[tequila]

It's generally in Israel's interest to see the Palestinians as divided as possible, so perhaps this is a good move to weaken the PA in the mind of the Palestinian public while strengthening its security forces at the same time. A good Fatah-Hamas civil war will allow plenty more of this without undue pressure from the Americans or the international community.
