Today was the day that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas petitioned the U.N. for recognition of an independent Palestinian state. This was no surprise as it has been reported this was going to happen for weeks now. Here is what to keep an eye on in the days ahead.
1. Does this lead to violent protests in Israel, especially in Gaza?
2. How will international community react to what will more than likely be a recognition from the U.N General Assembly, but not the security council?
3. What will the U.S. do in the way of trying to restart peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians?
One thing is for sure, this is not the end of this issue, but in many ways just a new beginning.
