Who would win in this scenario?  Would it mean a certain 3rd Intifada?

Isn't that what Israel want, control of the West Bank?

I'm sure they'd love unrestricted access to the land sans Palestinians :w00t:   But I think what Abbas is threatening here is to dissolve the P.A. and make Israel financially responsible for ALL the residents of the WB.  HUGE burden and apt to create a third intifada overnight I expect.  Apparently when Israel cut off the tax revenues after the UN announcement about statehood, Abbas got a little upset.  He has gone to all the Arab nations and they can't seem to pass the hat and come up with 100 million a month for the beloved Palestinian cause.  Is it just me or is that a bit unseemly?  To pledge undying support for your "poor relations" yet not be willing to help them in a time of extreme need?
