By its nature a story like this must be unsourced. So, the only question is the credibility of the publication and, as you point out, Haaretz are not afraid to let the Israeli government have it. Peronally, I wouldn't be at all surprised if this was true. Eamonn,

Quite okay. But for myself, and much as I'd like to, I can't use this juicy bit of info in any other blogging I might do in blog-conversation with Israel-haters, because it is so unsourced. I wish I could. Eamonn, I understand your reasoning. Quite okay.

Also, it's something Abbas himself would be unlikely to say on the record.

But it is totally unsourced. It would be nice to believe it. But I cannot believe it, esp. in view of Abbas' statements as recently as last week, until we know what the source of this information is.
