Caption: FILE - This July 28, 2013 file photo shows Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas chairing a session of the Palestinian cabinet in the West Bank city of Ramallah. The Palestinians believe they can build a stronger case for international pressure on Israel after it re-elected Benjamin Netanyahu, who during the campaign went back on long-standing assurances to the West and ruled out Palestinian statehood in the foreseeable future. But Abbas needs to maneuver carefully in his day-to-day relations with Netanyahu to avoid an escalation that could bring down his self-rule government in the West Bank. (AP Photo/Issam Rimawi, Pool)
