It means that Israel will run the show! If Abbas closes shop in response to the failure of his move in the UN, Lerner says, Israel will then have to seek the most workable framework for moving on. This would begin with the annexation of Area C – the areas in Judea and Samaria under full Israeli military and civilian control, with an overwhelmingly Jewish majority. This would leave a series of Arab urban centers in Areas B [Israeli military control, PA civil control] – and A [full PA control], Lerner continued, with each center having its own municipal leadership that would serve as the interface with Israeli authorities in the absence of the Palestinian Authority. This would be like winning the lottery for the average Palestinian Arab, Lerner says: They would have Israeli residence with the option to take Israeli citizenship – something that many of them have long wanted, according to many polls.
