PLO votes to suspend recognition of Israel, terminate all agreements
2018-10-31
That’s nice – of course that means Israel also it is not bound by all those agreements...But what does the “government”, the Palestinian Authority, have to say on the subject?
[PRESSTV] The Paleostine Liberation Organization’s central council has voted to suspend its recognition of Israel and terminate all agreements with the regime until Tel Aviv recognizes a Paleostinian state within the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem al-Quds as its capital.

The PLO announced the decision late Monday at the end of a two-day meeting in Ramallah. A committee will now be created to examine the recommendation, which would also need the approval of Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas

The Organization has urged the Paleostinian Authority to halt all its commitments to the ’occupation authorities’, including its security cooperation and trade agreements with the regime, until they meet the demands.
Got it — they’re just posturing.
The PLO council essentially wants to cease compliance with the 1993 Oslo Accord, which set out a transitory phase during which the Paleostinians would move toward statehood.

The council has declared that this transitory phase, which was only supposed to last for five to seven years, is over. It insisted that Paleostinian statehood must be recognized now.

"In view of Israel's continued denial of the signed agreements, the PCC (PLO Central Council), in confirmation of its previous decision and considering that the transitional phase no longer exists, decides to end the commitments of the PLO and the Paleostinian Authority toward its agreements with the occupying power, suspend recognition of the state of Israel until its recognition of the state of Paleostine on the June 4, 1967 borders with east Jerusalem al-Quds as its capital, end security coordination in all its forms, and disengage economically from Israel on the grounds that the transitional phase, including the Gay Paree Economic Protocols no longer exist," said the PLO statement posted on the official Paleostinian news agency Wafa.

The PLO central council’s decisions are not binding; however, it acts as an advisor to the PA on making future decisions on its policies toward the Israeli regime.
