GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will meet to try to halt two weeks of violence that has seen southern Israel battered by rockets and Gaza pummeled by airstrikes. Abbas hopes to line up Palestinian factions behind a truce before next week's meeting, but the violence showed no sign of letting up.
It would be interesting to compare the popularity polls numbers each leader enjoys among their respective electorate. Olmert has been holding steady with a vibrant 3% for months. Abbas’ actual support base remains a mystery though the Bush Administration seems to be a big donating non-voting non-resident fraction. Who knows, perhaps it’s a relief to Abbas that his biggest fans are non-residents; as it appears a goodly portion of the resident, non-donating, voting fraction has decided to literally lay siege to his administration.
