The Palestinian Authority is setting up a de facto state as a step to appeal to international courts to declare Israel an occupying power, James Hider, the Middle East bureau chief for the Times of London wrote on Tuesday.
Hider wrote that PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad plans to build a de facto state regardless of the state of negotiations with Israel. Hider's self-confessed cynicism is contained in a book he wrote this summer, called “The Spiders of Allah: Travels of an Unbeliever on the Frontline of Holy War.”
