PLO Central Council ‘Suspends’ Oslo Agreement
The Palestine Liberation Organization’s Central Council on Monday echoed – in spirit – the ‘Three No’s of Khartoum‘ and made it abundantly clear that the leadership headed by Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas has no interest whatsoever in peace, let alone direct negotiations with or recognition of the Jewish State of Israel.The Council decided in its final statement that the transitional period stipulated in the agreements signed in Oslo, Cairo and Washington, with its obligations no longer stands.
