- 9 years ago
Palestinian Authority (PA) chairman Mahmoud Abbas is planning to nullify the 1993 Oslo Accords, the Walla! Hebrew-language news website reported Sunday.
The report cited senior PA official said Ahmed Majdalani, who was quoted as having told PA-based media that the decision will be discussed at the upcoming meeting of the Palestine National Council (PNC) in Ramallah, and Abbas will officially announce it at the UN General Assembly later this month.
According to Majdalani, Abbas will say at the UN that since Israel did not comply with the Oslo Accords and did not allow the establishment of a Palestinian state, the PA is no longer committed to the agreements.
Sunday’s announcement by Majdalani comes on the heels of Abbas’s resignation as head of the PLO’s executive body, and amid continuing reports that he plans to resign as PA chairman as well.
