A quick hit.
The Palestinian bid for UN status is stumbling badly together with its economic situation. Arabs are not stepping up with funds; Germany has just said the UN bid is not welcome by it or other EU members; the US has said it will veto any measure reaching the Security Council.
Arabs dislike, to say the least, Iran. Hamas is an ally of Iran. Hamas refuses to recognize Israel. The Palestinian government (both of the them) are highly corrupt. The Arabs may be entering a 'Palestinian fatigue' state.
The Palestinians have picked the wrong friends. Back in the past I said that Hamas needs to take the high ground. Recognize Israel and stop the useless attacks. Get some sympathy - because once you lose the Arabs and their money, your hopes and dreams of statehood will vanish, Turkish support notwithstanding.
