Aides: 3 bad options for Abbas when he meets Obama

For decades almost every secretary of state has worked to bring peace between Israel and Palestine. On Monday Palestinian President Abbas will be visiting DC and meeting with Obama and Kerry. The purpose is to discuss the peace agreement that Kerry has drafted. Does Abbas like the peace agreement; no. But that doesn't mean that he or Netanyahu will say no to the process altogether. Neither leader wants to be the one who derailed the peace process and possibly lose close ties with the United States. If the peace process does fail Abbas believes that he will have other options. But for Kerry and the United States it means a wasted 20 years of of mediated talks.
