Report: Hanan Ashrawi pretends to offer her resignation - in protest of the PA cooperating with Israel

The New Arab quotes anonymous sources that Hanan Ashrawi , a member of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization, submitted her resignation a few days ago to President Mahmoud Abbas .

The sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said, "President Mahmoud Abbas has not yet responded to the resignation by rejecting or accepting it."

According to the report, Ashrawi is angry that the Palestinian Authority has restored its relations with Israel last month..

There was no comment from Ashrawi.

This seems to be the same sort of resignation theatre that Mahmoud Abbas likes to do, and that Saeb Erekat had engaged in himself, to make a dramatic threat which in the end does not happen. 

But isn't it interesting that the "moderate" Ashrawi, darling of international news networks, is against the idea of the PA even talking to Israel?
