What's that you say? That Abbas is going to bring lasting peace? From [1] Al-Jazeera, with thanks to Skeetstreet:

Khalid Al-Batsh, a prominent Islamic Jihad leader, said the movement had reached an agreement with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas during a recent meeting in Gaza on releasing nine Islamic Jihad activists detained in a Palestinian prison in Jericho....

The nine Islamic Jihad activists were detained in the wake of a bombing operation in a Tel Aviv nightclub on 25 February, in which five Israeli soldiers were killed.

The attack was claimed by the Islamic Jihad resistance group.
