Supporters of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, one of them holding a banner with his portrait, bottom, are seen prior to his visit in the West Bank city of Hebron, Sunday, Nov. 8, 2009. Abbas has pushed Mideast peace prospects into unknown territory by announcing he doesn't want another term and opening the way to a succession battle that could play into the hands of his rival, the militant Hamas.
