Israeli officials: Abbas has ended security coordination

Israeli officials confirm Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has followed through on his threats and halted all security coordination with Israel.

The ramifications of the decision are far-reaching, with Israeli and Palestinian forces setting up for a military clash in the West Bank.

Abbas, in a speech earlier this week, said all agreements with the US and Israel were off due to the talk of Israeli annexation of parts of the West Bank.
