...betray him into submission to the blind supporters...

"It is ridiculous to believe Dr Mahathir will risk breaking the coalition to serve the vested interest of some people at this stage in his career. But his age might betray him into submission to the blind supporters,” said an analyst.

But, if one knows Dr Mahathir, it will be clear the old fox is fishing for any form of dissent within the Pakatan to decide whether he should stay on beyond the two years framework or quit before that time frame.

1. What does the bold part mean?
2. Is "two years framework" grammatical?

Thanks
