Well, what agreements within the Oslo Accords are important. The Palestinian National Authority ](PNA) (AKA: The Palestinian Authority)(PA)] was established in 1994 as an outcome of the Oslo peace process as the elected government.
Remember: The abrogation of the Oslo Accords does not change the Seventh Arab Summit Resolution on Palestine, Rabat, Morocco, October 1974. The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) is by decree, the authoritarian government established by the Arab League.
The Arab Palestinians cannot demonstrate any more competence in government today, then it could back in 1974; or that exercised by the All Palestine Government between (1948-1959); under the flag of the 1916 Arab Revolt. There is no greater example in the world of a government in chaos than the internal disunity and inter-Arab politics --- than that reflected by the Palestinians. While the violence never subsides, the ability to create and perpetuate a self-replicating government on time, and in accordance with the Basic Law, simply has not been exhibited. The Arab Palestinians do not control their fate any more today, then they did in 1948
"2. To affirm the right of the Palestinian people to establish an independent national authority under the command of the Palestine Liberation Organization, the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people in any Palestinian territory that is liberated. This authority, once it is established, shall enjoy the support of the Arab states in all fields and at all levels;"
The conflicting and shifting interests that defined the regional politics of the Middle East in 1948 characterized the existence and failure of the All-Palestine Government. There may have been some genuine concern for the fate of the Palestinians, but Egypt’s and Transjordan’s relationships with the All-Palestine Government are a better indication of their own interests. While Egypt and other Arab League states supported the idea of a Palestinian state, their decision to support the All-Palestine Government was motivated more by blocking Transjordan’s claims to represent the Palestinians than by a fundamental desire to realize Palestinian national aspirations. King Faruq of Egypt did not need Gaza as much as King Abdallah of Transjordan needed the West Bank for political gain, and this difference informed the two countries’ contrasting approaches to the question of a Palestinian government. Historian Avi Shlaim writes, “Ostensibly the embryo for an independent Palestinian state, the new government, from the moment of its inception, was thus reduced to the unhappy role of a shuttlecock in the ongoing power struggle between Cairo and Amman.”

(COMMENT)Maybe the PA should fold its tent. They just get in the way of any progress.
The Arab-Palestinian create chaos, political disturbances and conduct terrorist in much the same way as drug kingpins and warlords; and for the very same reason (the maintenance of power). Just as there may have been some genuine concern for the fate of the Palestinian people in 1948, in 1967, and right through today; Egypt’s and Jordan’s relationships today with the PA and HAMAS are still demonstrative of their own interests. The Arab League regional concern is that the radicalized Islamic terrorist profile exhibited by the Arab Palestinians is constrained and stopped from spreading.
Objectively, the continuous conflict is to pressure Israel into making concessions with HAMAS such that over time, Israel will give-up more and more while the HAMAS compromises nothing.

Palestine is the poster child of illegal external interference.
What a shame that the Arabs-Moslems occupying the disputed territories are so ineffectual and incompetent that they're wholly unable to manage their affairs.
Hey, maybe If the UN established a dedicated welfare agency for their exclusive abuse and mismanagement, the Arabs-Moslems could find a way to finance an entire Islamic terrorist infrastructure network.
Indeed, "I blame the Great Satan" is but one of the excuses for supporting Islamic terrorism as furthered by the Death Cultists occupying the disputed territories.
And I don't buy into Israel's third grade terrorist name calling thing.
