Israeli Knesset Moves to Cancel the Oslo Accords
According to the English section of webangah News Agency, citing Mehr News Agency and ma’an, Israel’s Channel 7 reported that Tzvi Sukkot, a member of the Knesset, has submitted a new bill aimed at repealing the Oslo Accords.
The Israeli lawmaker claimed that the Oslo agreement represents a severe failure and has created a major security vacuum for Israel.
He added that Tel Aviv cannot remain committed to agreements that the othre party continuously violates.
It is noteworthy that 32 years ago, in the White House grounds, a fully one-sided agreement was signed in favor of Israeli occupiers by Yasser Arafat and Yitzhak Rabin.
The secret negotiations took place in Oslo,Norway’s capital,concluding on August 20,1993. The accord was officially signed on September 13,1993-equivalent to September 4 in Iran’s Iranian calendar-in Washington D.C., with Yasser Arafat, Yitzhak Rabin, and Bill Clinton present. According to this agreement, the creation of the Palestinian Authority was established as a temporary administrative body.
The Oslo Accords carried the slogan “Peace for Land” and emphasized negotiating a final solution between Palestinians and Israeli occupiers within five years.However, over time it became clear that Israel completely disregarded Palestinian rights on all points including settlement expansion, control over Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque, resident security, border demarcation, refugee status resolution, water allocation issues-and establishing an independant Palestinian state.
In reality, Israel acted contrary to Oslo’s provisions by using this accord solely to confiscate more Palestinian lands and expand settlements.
