Revelations about Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas‘ capitulation to Israel and the United States are nothing new.

The Palestine Papers published by Al Jazeera in 2011 included scores of internal memos that provided evidence of PA collusion with Israel. They revealed backing for Israeli policies that resulted in the jailing and deaths of Palestinians, and described PA‘s complicity in efforts to help Israel dodge war crimes charges for its 2008-09 assault on the Gaza Strip.
