Sorry, can't find another mention of in an English website...feel free to post if you want.
Since the P.A. has already violated it on numerous occasions (and Israel as well re: settlements but that's always a dispute), it's not that much of a surprise. I believe Arafat already declared them invalid a few times, and the Oslo Accords were supposed to be temporary...we're about 10 years overdue for a peace plan now.
If Hamas & PA want to go unilateral, so can Israel, I suppose. It doesn't look like the PA cared about the Oslo accords, anyway. And Israel kept expanding settlements.
BUT the Oslo Accords outline the PA's authority over the West Bank, their economic/tax authority, their security forces, and a few other things. It's a shaky roadmap to peace, but it's the most-cited one.
Thoughts? Israel has said this before and so has the PA, but now we have a statehood bid here.
At the Taba Summit in 2001, the PA rejected Israel's annexation of settlement blocks (aka 'mutual agreement on swapped territory') so I assume the PA will now feel free to call Gilo, east J'lem, and Ariel their own.
