Abbas won't do anything.
From what I was reading, Israel is ever closer to ridding of Arafat, and the USA is saying it's a shame we haven't done so earlier.

Who cares about where Arafat is? It's a threat Israel always uses, but seriously, how will it hurt terrorism?
The threat to invade Gaza and wipe out the Hamas leadership worked very good and we got a Hudna, but who cares about Arafat?"Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master" - Commissioner Pravin Lal.

Arafat's disappearance will stop Palestinian money from pouring into terror, will cause mass disorganization in the Fatah ranks, which are seriously the drive behind most of the attacks in 2003.
Plus it will weaken Palestinian political stance to a small bit.
And yes, we will probably very shortly begin the head hunt of Hamas leaders

Hudna: roughly translated as a cease fire.
In moslem culture: a temporary tactical cease fire declared by moslems in a war of Jihad, in order to regroup and reorganize. In the Koran, when Mohammed fought against Saudi leaders who were stronger, he signed a hudna, and then prepared himself to a later stage when he broke it and attacked.
In current events: an agreement of understanding between the PA and the Hamas and Jihad, about 'stoping the inter palestinain struggle for the greater good of the palestinian goal' but only 'as long as the Israeli side does xx and yy'.
That is to put it nicely: "we're taking a brake attacking Israelis to re-organize and restart the conflict when we feel like it. If the Israelis try to stop us, we'll blame it on them."

Did anybody expect anything better from the Hamas et al ? I thought nobody in the whole Israel / Palestine area ever had illusions over the cease fire ?"I have been reading up on the universe and have come to the conclusion that the universe is a good thing." -- Dissident

Hold onto your hats, Israelis - because a young canuck just might be coming to kill him for you!
...I'm allowed to do that sort of thing even before joining the IDF, right??
No, and if you will do that you will be arrested and tried.
Unless a group of fanatical Israelis will find you and hide you first.
