Knesset Members in Israel’s increasingly popular Likud Party Sunday called upon Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to cancel his scheduled meeting with veteran terrorist “Palestinian” Arab Mahmoud Abbas.

The lawmakers described the summit, set to take place in Jerusalem later in the day, as “unnecessary.”

Abbas, a puppet leader supported more by western governments than his own people, reportedly plans to insist that Israel extend the ceasefire it agreed to in Gaza to Judea and Samaria as well.

This despite the fact that the cessation of hostilities on the Gaza front has been one-sided, with the IDF standing uselessly by as the Arabs continue firing Kassam rockets at Israeli communities in the hope of killing and maiming Jews.

Abbas believes that securing such a state of affairs on the “West Bank” would help improve his standing among his own people and strengthen his Fatah faction of the PLO in its ongoing conflict with Hamas.

Olmert’s bureau announced Saturday that the Israeli leader plans to “talk tough” with Abbas and will in no way agree to any such ceasefire extension.

But Likud MKs Yuval Steinitz and Silvan Shalom said that it was pointless to even hold such a meeting, and urged Olmert to call it off.
