I'm somewhat optimistic about Abbas. He's not perfect - he can't be dealing with the likes of Hamas - but he may be good enough.
RAMALLAH, West Bank (CNN) -- Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Monday ordered Palestinian security forces to stop attacks by Palestinian militants on Israelis.
The move comes after a Palestinian attack Thursday on the Gaza-Israel border that killed six Israeli civilians. (Full story)
Abbas has ordered an investigation of the attack for which three Palestinian militant groups -- Hamas, the Popular Resistance and Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades -- claimed responsibility.
The use of Palestinian security forces to rein in Palestinian attacks on Israeli targets has long been a key sticking point in the Mideast peace process between the Palestinian Authority and Israel.
