Here's the rub. Even in the West Bank there's Hamas, Hezballah and Islamic Jihad, each one of which grossly outguns the Palestinian government [I think we can ditch terms like "authority" not that they're a real government system]. So when the Palestinian police get into their first firefight post this agreement they'll- of course, be forced to withdraw or lose more lives and still be blamed for "failing to stop" terrorism never mind they had ZERO chance of success.

This is a sweatheart deal for the Israeli government hardliners and squatters in Palestinian land. The latter can even shoot whomever and if anyone shoots back it becomes the Palestinians fault regardless how justified their self defense.
