Palestinian leaders anticipate changes in relations with Israel, with figures like Hanna Amireh suggesting a re-evaluation of security commitments and Mr. Shaath warning of legal consequences for Israel.

Efforts are still under way to restart peace talks but if, as expected,
negotiations do not resume, come September the Palestinian
Authority seems set to go ahead with plans to ask the General
Assembly to accept it as a member. Diplomats involved in the issue
say most countries
more than 100 - are expected to vote yes,
meaning it will pass. (There are no vetoes in the General Assembly
so the United States cannot save Israel as it often has in the Security
Council.)
What happens then?
Some Palestinian leaders say relations with Israel would change.
"We will re-examine our commitments toward Israel, especially our
security commitments," suggested Hanna Amireh, who is on the 18-
member ruling board of the Palestine Liberation Organization,
referring to cooperation between Palestinian and Israeli troops. "The
main sense about Israel is that we are fed up."
Mr. Shaath said Israel would then be in daily violation of the rights of
a fellow member state and diplomatic and legal consequences could
follow, all of which would be painful for Israel.
In the Haaretz newspaper on Thursday, Ari Shavit, who is a political
centrist, drew a comparison between 2011 and the biggest military
setback Israel ever faced, the 1973 war.
He wrote that "2011 is going to be a diplomatic 1973," because a
Palestinian state will be recognized internationally. "Every military
base in the West Bank will be contravening the sovereignty of an
independent U.N. member state." He added, "A diplomatic siege
from without and a civil uprising from within will grip Israel in a
stranglehold."
