Palestinians will be assuming control over Jericho and neighboring towns over the coming weeks because Jericho has not been a locus of terror attacks. Why have I seen this one before?
Simple. It's because we've been down this road before. Israel and the Palestinians had signed the Gaza-Jericho Accord which dealt with the security and civil administrative control over those areas shortly after the Oslo Accords were signed in 1994. That's right, the Palestinians are right back where they were in 1994 and have gotten absolutely nothing to show for the intervening 10+ years except a whole lot of nothing (unless you count a whole lot of dead suicide bombers and dead terrorists).
So, why are we making a big deal about this? Abbas has only managed to recycle dead paper from 10+ years ago and the terrorists are just as ornery as they were the last time. The big difference is that the Israelis aren't nearly so blind to the possiblity that they're being suckered again.
