Palestinians are considering withdrawing from
Oslo Accords, who are currently framing relations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, if US President Donald Trump announces his peace plan for the Middle East, Palestinian officials said.
Yes Donald trump announces plan, as scheduled by Tuesday, Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) reserves the right to “withdraw from the interim agreement” (the name of the concrete results of the Oslo talks) Saeb Erekat, secretary general of the PLO, told AFP. “This plan will transform temporary occupation into permanent occupation,” he added.
Non-invitation to discussions
The Palestinian official made the statement while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his political rival Benny Gantz were on their way to Washington on Sunday, where they are scheduled to meet with the President on Monday.
The Palestinians, who boycott US officials since the transfer of the US embassy to Jerusalem, say they were not invited to these talks in Washington, where the United States’ Middle East peace project is to be announced. “Trump’s plan is the plot of the century to liquidate the Palestinian cause,” the Palestinian foreign ministry said in a statement.
Agreement expected to end in 1999
The Palestinians have already announced their rejection of the US initiative, which they believe includes the annexation by Israel of the Jordan Valley and settlements in the Palestinian Territories, as well as the recognition of Jerusalem as the only capital of Israel. But it is the first time that the Palestinians reveal part of their strategy if the United States announces their plan.
Under the Oslo II interim agreement of September 1995 between the PLO and Israel, the West Bank is divided into Zone A, under Palestinian civil and security control, Zone B, under Palestinian civil and Israeli security control, and C , under Israeli civil and security control. This interim agreement was to end in 1999 but has since been tacitly renewed by the two parties.
