The
Palestinian Central Council (PCC), one of the Palestine Liberation
Organization's (PLO) governing institutions, has decided not to
recognize the state of Israel until it recognizes the Palestinian
state, Nabil Shaath, the foreign affairs adviser of Palestinian
President Mahmoud Abbas told Sputnik.
"The
Palestinian Central Council has decided to freeze the recognition of
Israel by the [Palestinian] state until [Israel] recognizes Palestine
as a state… Palestine will freeze the Oslo accords, the provisions
of which are not implemented by Israel, including about the
coordination in the sphere of security," Shaath said Monday.
The
official added that the PLO criticized the decision of US President
Donald Trump to relocate the US embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to
Jerusalem and considered the US move as unacceptable.
On
Sunday, Abbas said at at the PCC session that the Israeli policy of
construction of settlements at the West Bank had resulted made an end
of the 1993 Oslo accords.
The
agreements provide the founding principles of the self-government
arrangements on the Palestinian territories and mark the start of a
peace process aimed at fulfilling the right of the Palestinian people
to self-determination.
