I see the recognition, where are the hard conditionality or the security guardrails? If the PA doesn't cooperate, what leverage exists?

This move alone could have accomplished a lot of reforms. So far all I've seen is:

1) the PA supposedly end "pay for slay" where Palestinians that commit terrorist attacks or their family gets more money for more dead and injured victims or for longer prison terms (this program may have actually ended, it's just really hard to tell because of mixed signals),

2) Abbas condemn October 7th once in a letter to France and Saudi Arabia in June 2025 (for the first time and a little under 2 years after October 7th happened), and

3) the arrest of a person that committed a terrorist attack in France in the 1982.

I really hope there was a lot more behind the scenes, because those seem pretty small.

Having elections they should have had for many years now wouldn't be that impressive either.

Why not condition recognition on 1) releasing the hostages and 2) Hamas / Palestinian Islamic Jihad / Al-Qassam / etc disarming? Those 2 things could end the current war.
