Israel's Ben-Gvir pushes bill to end Oslo Accords, other agreements
Israel's extremist politician Itamar Ben-Gvir has submitted a bill to the Knesset to cancel the 1993 Oslo Accords and a series of subsequent deals, which were meant to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The far-right Israeli politician in a post on social media announced on Sunday that the bill presented by his party calls for the complete annulment of these agreements.
“We are righting a long-standing injustice. Along with my colleagues in the Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) party, I have submitted a bill aimed at canceling the Oslo Accords, the Hebron Agreement, and the Wye River Agreement,” Ben-Gvir said.
According to the proposal presented by Ben-Gvir's party, "the signed agreements will be completely annulled, and Israel will revert to the situation prior to these agreements, including reclaiming the territories that were conceded within the framework of these agreements."
Additionally, the laws that were enacted to enforce these agreements will be repealed.
The bill grants Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu the authority to set regulations necessary for implementing the decision.
In September 1993, the Palestine Liberation Organization, PLO, signed the Oslo Accords with the Israeli regime on the lawn of the White House in Washington, DC.
The agreement, signed with the claim of resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict within a specific time frame, involved mutual recognition of the right to exist and the establishment of a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders.
Decades later, the dream of establishing a Palestinian state remains unfulfilled, while settlement expansion and the Judaization of occupied al-Quds have intensified.
Observers say the Oslo Accords have only brought calamities to Palestinians and have failed to secure the creation of an independent Palestinian state.
The Hebron protocol, signed in January 1997, divided the al-Khalil city into two sections.
One area came under full Palestinian control while the remaining area was placed under Israeli control, with civil powers transferred to the Palestinian Authority.
The Wye River Memorandum, signed in October 1998 by Yasser Arafat and Netanyahu, established several key provisions.
Palestinians now maintain that the so-called peace accords will not free their land, and it is only armed resistance which will help them regain their rights.
