Ha'aretz: Abbas threatens to quit
Update, 5:05 p.m.: JTA, the Jerusalem Post, and a few other Israeli/Jewish news sources have the Abbas-might-resign story. Still nothing about it in Arabic, though -- not on the major newspaper Web sites (which admittedly are not updated that frequently), not on Al-Jazeera/Al-Arabiya, not on the blogs.
Original post: Ha'aretz relays a report from Israel's channel 10, which says Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas told Barack Obama he plans to resign his post. Abbas reportedly said he sees no hope for peace with Benjamin Netanyahu, and feels that his standing has been permanently damaged by the controversy over delaying the Goldstone Report.
Obligatory caveat: This is just one secondhand report. We'll update this thread with other sources as we find them.
