Palestinian head authority, Mahmoud Abbas, has announced that he will not be running for re-election in January of 2010...and middle-eastern leaders are extremely dissappointed. However, most believe his decision to be an incentive for Washington to step in and support Palestine. Israel is particularly upset because the leaders saw Abbas as "a partner for peace." No doubt that the U.S.'s response to Abbas' announcement will have an effect on the re-election in January.
